Wouldn't this try to configure it with the same address as the "parent" machine? Try assigning a different address and see if that works. If it does, you can put the interfaces file in .../deb-live/config/chroot_local_includes/etc/network/interfaces and rebuild.
Assuming this isn't the problem, what does "netstat -rn" and "ifconfig eth0" show after you've restarted networking? Lastly, if you'd like to set up a DHCP server (and are allowed to, ofc) send me a message off-list and I'll help you get a working configuration.
