I have an Ubuntu server and I cannot get Internet connection over this. The IP,subnet,gateway and the 2 DNS servers that I have been given is standard addresses that I must put into.
I will give details of this:

1)

ping 8.8.8.8 

returns

Network is unreachable

2)

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

is set to

#The loopback network interface

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback



#The primary network interface

#auto eth0 <-- this is a comment

iface eth0 inet static

address "My_static_ip_here"

netmask 255.255.255.0

gateway  "My_Gateway_here"

3)

sudo nano /etc/resolve.conf

is set to

nameserver "My_DNS_server_1_here"

nameserver "My_DNS_server_2_here"

Finally, ifconfig

returns 127.0.0.1 address and a subnet 255.0.0.0 ofcourse on lo
I cannot give detailed ifconfig here because of the limitations that I got.
PS: This is a virtual machine that I am using.
PS2: I tried to auto-dhcp it with iface eth0 inet dhcp but during the networking restart it kept loading and loading forever, so that does not work and I want to give this static IP.
