Here's mine ..
# interfaces to bring up at boot
auto lo eth0
# We always want the loopback interface.
iface lo inet loopback
# fast ethernet
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.112.27
network 192.168.112.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.112.255
gateway 192.168.112.1
The lack of network and broadcast lines should be ok though.

That's cos you have no gateway line in your config :)

nnorman@canaris:~/sandbox/src/precert $ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.112.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default netscreen 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
Weird.
Try "/etc/init.d/networking stop && /etc/init.d/networking start"
after adding a gateway line.
