So you configure eth0 and you do actually have an eth0, so that's
alright.

…and your eth0 is currently up and has the IP address you
configured, so that's okay.

So I do wonder why it's not working. What does this say?

$ ip route show

Just wondering what your default route is.

And how are you determining that networking doesn't work? i.e. what
are the symptoms?

What happens if you try to ping something? Like:

$ ping 8.8.8.8

I am ignoring the tun0 stuff right now but that could possibly be
related.

Thanks,
Andy
