Vmware converter, and eth0
So, i had to migrate over a virtual server running debian etch today, due to some issues I was having with hardware. I used vmware converter, which is the greatest invention for IT admins since the laptop. Anyway, the server was already virtual, but I used converter to migrate it off ESX and onto vmware server, where I am parking it until the server maintenance is done. When I got it onto vmware server, low and behold, the network connection was not there. I went on into /etc/network/interfaces and everything looked fine, I had eth0 set up to use a static IP. Funny thing is, when I restarted the networking service, it was letting me know that the interface eth0 did not exist. Upon some google research, I found this.

However, rather then do what this guy suggested, which is mess with the vmware config, all I had to do with change eth0 to eth1 in my config file, save and restart the service /etc/init.d/networking restart
Blamo, networking came up, and the web server was happily on a new server.
