auto eth0 does not set the IP.

You are telling the system to use dhcp. You want iface eth0 inet static and then the settings. Here is mine: iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1 # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed dns-nameservers 212.23.3.100 212.23.6.100 The gateway is my router.
