Someone suggested that the problem might be in
my /etc/networks/interfaces file.  (I can't find the email that
suggested that I look there, but thanks a lot to the person who made the
suggestion.  I wish that I could thank you by name, but I can't).

I simply edited my /etc/networks/interfaces file to be the same as my
system that is working, and, all is now well.

Thanks to all who responded.
