You probably don't have updated apt-gets database. If your
/etc/apt/sources.list
is correct, you should run
apt-get update
after this
apt-get install vim
should work.
A sample sources.list could look like this:
deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib
non-free

Configure your
/etc/network/interfaces
file. An example can be founc in
/usr/share/doc/netbase/examples/interfaces
If this is done /etc/init.d/networking should automatically configure
your interfaces upon boot.
