Sounds right to me too. If you've been fiddling with the configuration, it's
a good idea to reinstall to make sure you've got all the bits in the right
places ;-)

The detection of which NIC is eth0 and which NIC is eth1 sometimes doesn't
agree with what you want. As Jerry points out, if it picked the NICs wrong
you can reverse them with xs-swapnics (followed by a restart).

cheers,
