That looks fine. Did you edit your /etc/network/interfaces to:

Also, are you sure that is the proper gateway IP? Is it the same on your
working system? Please provide information on what you have for
networking equiment (routers, DSL modems, etc).

Have you tried setting for DHCP just to see if that works? Please have a
look at:

If dhcp works, then you can go back and work on fixing your fixed IP
configuration.
