Network issue on a cloned server

[David Groos]

Oops-sent this out last night but forgot to "reply to all" so here it is.
Also, just changed the /etc/network/interfaces like I thought of below in
effort to "switch back" to correct nic roles.  I won't know if it worked,
however, till I can get access to the server room.
