Specifically what did you rsync?  If you copied the ifcfg files, you 
probably need to adjust the HWADDR in each.  If you didn't get all of 
/etc, you might need sysctl.conf.  I'm guessing that's the case, given 
the symptoms and the fact that you had to also copy the iptables file.

There should not be a BOOTPROTO in this file.

You don't need NETWORK here.

It would also be helpful to see the contents of /etc/sysctl.conf or the 
output of:

# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
# cat /proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-*
# brctl show
