[ubuntu] Networking Trouble

[Skidbladniir]

auto lo

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 70.114.165.30

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

SIOCADDRT: NO such process
Failed to bring up eth0

Sorry, probably typos. I typed that without seeing the screen. I was looking at my server's screen (One screen - VGA splitter). Please help.

Ok, I got it working, (forgot my netmask ends with .224), but now if I try 70.114.165.30, it always gives me a timed out error.

I also tried switching it to port 81 just because I thought my ISP might have blocked incoming port 80s. Please help.

Also, putty (openSSH) times out also. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I most likely missed something but what do you mean that you switched it to port 81?
Are you trying to run a web server? From where did you attempt to access this machine and what was the IP address of the machine attempting access? Is this machine, i.e. 70.114.165.30, behind a firewall and or a router over which you have control?
Have you tried to ping the 70.114.165.30 address from the local network or from itself?

By name or IP address? If IP works, but name does not, check /etc/resolv.conf.
Do you have local DNS server - are you using /etc/hosts file?
