You want entries like this in your interfaces file

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
         address 192.168.0.25
         netmask 255.255.255.0
         gateway 192.168.0.7


You want this in your /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 192.168.0.7

After they have been done, /etc/init.d/networking restart

To test:

ping 192.168.0.7
dig www.google.com

If they check out, then make sure networking does run on startup. Reboot 
and check that things still work after booting back into Ubuntu.

/etc/init.d/networking restart
Says :
	* Reconfiguring network interfaces
SIOCSIFLAGS: Connection timed out
SIOCSIFLAGS: Connection timed out
Failed to bring up eth0.
