depending on what you mean by internet connection, none of the
files mentioned above really have anything to do with the internet
connection ..:)

is 10.0.0.1 your actual gateway? do you have the netmask and broadcast
set right? e.g. here is the info for my eth0:
iface eth0 inet static
address 216.39.174.24
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 216.39.174.255
gateway 216.39.174.1
network 216.39.174.0
what is the IP of your machine? and does your gateway use NAT or
something? what kind of gateway??

the interfaces file is the correct place to set basic settings,
DNS info is usually set in /etc/resolv.conf. This is assuming your
using a normal ethernet connection and not some PPPoE or some other
strange thing(strange to me at least, my systems have a bridge to
the internet, everything is plain ol ethernet)
