By setting your DNS server to 127.0.0.1 you will need a DNS resolver
installed locally that will require internet access.  If you
statically assigned your IP, did you assign a default gateway?  If you
type "ip route" you should see an entry like this:

default via 192.168.10.3 dev eth0  metric 100

If you do not have an entry like this, you can quickly add one with
the following:
ip route add default via 192.168.10.3

Of course change the IPs to match your own environment.  If that
works, put a gateway entry in /etc/network/interfaces

If you do have a default route try doing a traceroute to test your
settings, eg. "traceroute 8.8.8.8".  If you are able to trace that IP,
then put 8.8.8.8 in your /etc/resolv.conf and remove the 127.0.0.1
entry until you figure out why the locally installed resolver is not
working.
