So I followed these steps to get static ip and lost connection

sudo -s
nano /etc/network/interfaces

changed

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

to same as above with

auto eth-d
iface eth0 inet static
address etc

then reset networking

    Could you be more clear on what you are trying to achieve ? Do you have network-manager installed ? AFAIK if you have network-manager installed wired connection is controlled by network-manager and you need to setup static ip through network-manager interface – sagarchalise Mar 30 '13 at 17:23

    The formatting is hard to read. eth0 in the first and eth-d in the second example? What's that meant to be? How did you "reset" networking? – 0xC0000022L Mar 30 '13 at 17:30

Your file is misconfigured, try something like this:

auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
        address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(enter your ip here)
        netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
        gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(enter gateway ip here,usually the address of the router)
        DNS xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Then:
