[Users] ubuntu precreated template problem

[dan]

I'm having problems with the precreated 8.04-x86 template.

After setting the normal ipaddress/hostname/gateway settings and
starting the template, I get no networking.  The CentOS template works
fine, so its not my networking setup.  If I modify the
/etc/network/interfaces file to be like a typical system, networking
will restart without error, but I cannot access the network still.

The host node is Ubuntu 8.04.

Ideas? Suggestions?
