Thanks for the suggestions guys but in the original email i sent out I
clearly listed the files I copied from the 2850 to the 1650 and I never
copied over the file that maps the mac address to the eth number. As
Simon stated it's /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules in Debian.
This file was originally created when I built the server and has not
changed. The only way it would change is if I had copied that file from
the 2850 to the 1650, then when Debian booted up it would think there
were 2 more NICs and label them eth2 and eth3, which is not the case.
The only files I copied over were the shorewall configs and the
/etc/network/interfaces file which does not contain any mac address
configurations in it, only IP addresses to eth0, eth1, etc.
I think the problem is as Simon stated in his first reply, the arp
tables on the router. When I hook up a new box to that router with the
same IP as the old one but different mac address, the router doesn't
like that and won't push anything to it. I will give eth0 an unused
public IP and see if that helps.

Yes, Debian does that now - means interface names don't change on
reboots :-) The file is z25-persistent-net-rules on Debian.
So I suppose it has to be addressed. Cause Shorewall is going to handle
interface eth0/ethx - while the debian system renames the interfaces
after the last old ethx interface.
Matt - maybe you should check it out ;)
