For some reason when I go into the Networking Control I see the

Here the basic instructions to post reasonable questions in a

system configuration.

eth0 Active
eth0-old Avtive
eth1 Avtive
eth1-old Active

I had originally backed up those files because I made changes.

Now while I appreciate, that you're adopting the *nix
philosophy "every thing is a file", it would be worthwile, to
tell us, where exactly you found those files. Because: Network
devices are about the few exceptions, where no direct file
representation exists (well there are some in procfs and sysfs,
but you normally don't bother with those).

So I guess, you've got some stale configuration files somewhere
on your system. But without knowing, which distribution you use,
it's hard to give sensible advice on how to proceed.

Is there a file I am missing that I should change??

Can't tell you without knowing which distribution you use. But
what I can tell, it's not Gentoo.
