  zcat /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces.gz >> /etc/network/interfaces

Then edit /etc/network/interfaces, using the first eth0 example (probably)
From the added stuff.  You'll need an 'lo' entry uncommented as well.  Then run:

  /etc/init.d/networking restart

or

  ifdown eth0
  ifup eth0

or reboot.

The problem you're having is because you've not set a default root,
which is done by the gateway bit of the interfaces stanza.

You could do that by hand with:

  route add default gw 192.168.2.1

assuming that's your router address.

Cheers, Phil.
