I’m using Debian Etch as a guest OS under VMWare. When you copy the VM (to  
another machine or another instance on the same machine), VMWare wants to  
give it a new UID (you should let it so you don’t end up with duplicate  
machines). A side effect is that you get a new ethernet MAC address. In  
Debian Etch, a side effect of that is that it thinks you have a new network  
card but it doesn’t forget about the old network card, so instead of the  
network interface being eth0, it is now eth1. And the next time you copy  
the VM, it is eth2, and so on.

It is really a pretty simple fix, once you know where to look. The clue is  
that udev is what is remembering the old MAC address. In my VMs, the  
addresses were in:

*/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules*

It is just a plain text file. Delete the lines with the old MAC addresses  
and change the last one to be eth0.
