Have you tried connecting your wired connection via DHCP?  What happens? 

To what PRECISELY are you trying to connect?  My equivalent settings would be:
IP address 192.168.0.2
Netmask   255.255.255.0
Gateway  192.168.0.1

I connect to the Internet via a modem-router, which connects to my ISP.

But I find it better to use DHCP in all individual machines (from Kindle, to 
the TV, to my desktop) and have the router dish out set IPs to named Mac 
Addresses (including wireless ones, so, FWIW, my Kindle always has the same 
IP).
