OK.  You still haven't actually said what you're trying to fix: what went 
wrong with the install, what you want to go back and change, etc.

But I'm guessing that everything's OK, except that your network isn't set up.  
In that case, you could try removing the above lines 
from /etc/network/interfaces, and replaing them with these:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Use the command nano /etc/network/interfaces, delete the lines with control-k, 
and save then quit using control-x.

When you've done that, run:

  /etc/init.d/networking restart

and then try to use the internet somehow.  If it doesn't work, and networking 
is indeed what you're REALLY trying to solve (ie, not some side issue), then 
you should post any steps you took, error messages you get, and what you 
hoped to see instead of errors.  That way, we'll have a much better idea of 
the problem, and won't need to waste your time with guesswork.
