Default DOH! Cant figure out this ceiling fan wiring!

Ok, I removed my old fan, and *thought* I drew an entire diagram of the
old wiring setup. What I didnt relize until I tried wiring the new fan
was I forgot to draw where the white wires were connected to on the old
fan!

Here is my setup:

From the fan box in ceiling I have (2) sets of wires.

Black/White/Ground and Black/White/Ground. On the old fan, I know that
one of the black wires were connected to the Blue and Black wire on the
fan. I know that the other black wire was connected to the white wire
on the fan. What I dont know is where the other white wires connect to


Any ideas where I should connect the other (2) white wires? I tried
different combinations, nothing worked

Don't the fan instructions say how to wire it?

Does the fan have a light? Did the old fan have a light? Did the light and
fan work on separate switches or just one switch?
With the wires disconnected, does anything not work that did before?
A little information would get you a better answer.

I have taken to photographing things before I disassemble them. Haven't
need to refer to the pictures yet, but it is nice to know they are
available.
