Oh thanks so much, this saved my evening (2am)!
I followed this but left the entry in the original file to eth1 and changed settings in /etc/network/interfaces to eth1 to match. This is the 10th article I read and it got me on the right track. Sweet!

You're a life saver! I've been searching for hours for this solution. As soon as I made the changes you said, I restarted Ubuntu in Vmware and it got a valid IP address. Thanks!

This was an annoying issue and I am glad I found this site, I ended up just changing /etc/network/interfaces to use eth3 and now everything is happy again. Thanks!
