If you can ping your default router:

route add -net default gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx   <-ip address of your router

ip route show     will show your routing table, it seems to be missing
this part.

ip addr show      will show your interface names, it may be your
ethernet is not eth0 as your config assumes.

you could also edit  /etc/network/interfaces with your static ip address:

--snip--
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address your.ip.address/24      <- assuming 255.255.255.0
netmask, if not change the 24 for the proper amount of bits.
        gateway your.gateways.address
---snip---

then run /etc/init.d/networking stop; /etc/init.d/networking start
hope this helps.
