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:
