Network issue on a cloned server

[David Groos]

Also--I need to add what alkisg recently posted on irc:

alkisg: dgroos: a quick answer for your mail: when you clone a linux pc, the

> alkisg: This way the names will become eth0/eth1 again.

I'll try all ideas and post results/what I learn on Monday :)

THANKS!
David
