Hi,

What I suggest you do is have your system configured as it was via DHCP 
and then use the command ifconfig eth0 to see what the broadcast and 
network are being set to.  Then modify your configuration to match.

Ideally if you don't understand this already you should talk to the 
person who setup the DHCP server on your network to make sure you are 
doing things correctly.  If the DHCP server is being provided by a home 
router that no one has set up for you previous and you move to static 
addresses it is likely that you will have to configure NAT manually on 
your home router to get things working correctly.

Good Luck
