what does your /etc/network/interfaces file look like?
it should be like:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
# automatically added when upgrading
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian
# installation
# (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)
# automatically added when upgrading
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.42.21
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.42.0
broadcast 192.168.42.255
gateway 192.168.42.1

see:
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Comments begin with
# a #, and everything on the line after them are ignored.
