VMware Workstation 6.5.3 & Ubuntu 8 - Lost network interfaces

I downloaded and am running a TurnKey LAMP virtual machine on VMware Workstation 6.5.3.

It is using Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS.

It has worked great for days.

Last night I took the laptop over to a friends house and connected to their wireless network and it grabbed a DHCP address and worked fine.

Today however, I am back home and it keeps saying it has no interfaces.

Forgive me, I don't know much about Linux...

I issue the command: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

I get:

udhcpc (v0.9.9-pre) started

SIOCGIFINDEX failed! No such device

Failed to bring up eth0udhcpc (v0.9.9-pre) started

SIOCGIFINDEX failed! No such device

Failed to bring up eth1

The contents of my /etc/network/interfaces:

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0

iface lo inet loopback

auto eth1

iface lo inet loopback

In VMware, my network adapter is configured in bridged mode.

Anyway, I have some php files that I spent all night working on that I need to get off of it.

Oops, typo. Should be:

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0

iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth1

iface eth1 inet dhcp

I had the files elsewhere so I just deleted and recreated the VM.
