That's not much to go on.  The output of "ip addr show" and "ip route 
show" might help you figure out what's going on.  Do your interfaces 
have the expected names?  Do they have the expected IP addresses?

One thing that might be problematic is that there are multiple systems 
that attempt to maintain consistent interface names.  If your interface 
names are not what you expect, you might need to look at 
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules where there may be additional 
rules mapping specific MAC addresses to an interface name.
