With this, will I also be able to use the automatic interfaces that detect what network I'm on and set up proper internet access as well as keep the alias that I set up?

Updated with an alias interface, see the interfaces(5) man page for more information on options you can set in the file.

I know this shouldn't be so complicated, but the following isn't working: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp iface eth0:0 inet static address 10.0.0.100 network 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255 gateway 10.0.0.1 After I edit the file, I run sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart, but the new interface does not show up. Any thoughts?

Don't bother trying to decipher the file in the comment. I edited my OP and added the interfaces file
