As others have commented Paul, there's not a lot here to go on. Your
setup which didn't work is all commented out and the rest is just blank.
What I would expect to see is something a bit like this:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.10.103
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.10.1
network 192.168.10.0
broadcast 192.168.10.255
(assuming you have a router of that IP address of course).
If you *do* have network-manager installed then this could be the cause
of many of your woes.
