Since you already fixed your issue I'll just comment on your interfaces
file. BTW, there is a man page for it: interfaces(5).
1. Do you have a specific reason for using 'auto' instead of
'allow-hotplug'? I doubt you'll see any difference in practice.
2. Indenting makes your file easier to read, e.g.
iface eth0 inet static
address ...
gateway ...
netmask ...
3. it's safe to get rid of 'network' and 'broadcast', they are
calculated from address and netmask ;)
4. If you prefer to keep all network settings in one file you could
install the package 'resolvconf' and add a 'dns-nameservers' line (no,
the 's' is not a typo, since you can add more of them, separated by
spaces).
This is additional complexity for a machine with a static address that
rarely changes, but I thought you should be aware of the possibility.
Kind regards,
Andrei
