I'll assume that you actually mean /etc/network/interfaces, not 
/etc/init.d/interfaces.  Is your machine plugged into e DSL router?  If 
so, what is it's ethernet ip address set to (should be 192.168.1.1, 
since that's how you defined the gateway in Linux)?

What happens when you ping 192.168.1.1?

BTW, you don't need to restart your machine after making network 
changes, just do (as root):
# /etc/init.d/networking reatsrt
