That is lucky!

Try setting up manually:
# ifconfig eth0 195.94.135.247 netmask 255.255.255.192 up
# ifconfig eth0
If the card has been set up ok, your cardinfo is displayed here. But I
think you messed up your netmask and network. Netmask is usually
255.255.255.0 here and network is 195.94.135.0.
Now the gateway:
# route add default gw 195.94.135.192
(I think this is your gateway).
Look if this works correct, then edit /etc/network/interfaces.
