The above looks okay.

Here there's a problem. Your IP address does not match with the one you 
defined in the "interfaces" file.

Let's see... on a running system, once you edit the "/etc/network/
interfaces" file you also have to:

1/ Restart the network service: /etc/init.d/networking restart
2/ Up the network interface: ifup eth0
3/ Check that all is fine: /sbin/ifconfig

(this is not needed after you restart the machine)

Try it and send the results. The rest of the files look normal so let's 
focus on this.

Also, after running the above 3 commands, review the syslog ("grep -i 
eth0 /var/log/syslog")
