See Ethernet-HOWTO if you have problems with your card.
When you have got your ethernet card ok, then take a look at this:
http://www.oswg.org/oswg-nightly/DHCP.html
You need to get dhcpcd client software working. If you don't already
have it, download the debian package. (You need it because you want to
get that dynamic ip from server). When you have the software, working
ethernet card and the document, rest is very simple.
First read the document. Make sure your ethernet card is working, then
install the software and reboot. You may need to change some
configuration options, but everything is hopefully explained in the
document.
