At present mine reads:


# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
# automatically added when upgrading
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
 	address 127.0.0.1
	netmask 255.0.0.0
	network 127.0.0.0
	broadcast 127.0.0.255
	gateway 127.0.0.1


Should some of these be deleted before adding your lines?
