Don't know if this helps but here is the networking section from my
Ubuntu Server 14.04 setup notes:-

Set up networking:-
Edit /etc/network/interfaces to look like this:-

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
# iface eth0 inet dhcp
# Changes to:-
iface eth0 inet static
  address         192.168.2.x
  netmask         255.255.255.0
  network         192.168.2.0
  broadcast       192.168.2.255
  gateway         192.168.2.1
  dns-nameservers 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 192.168.2.1 8.8.8.8


This file was last edited on my server on 2015-04-30 and gives me no
problems, but maybe other "features" get in the way on a desktop
system.
