First, read man interfaces. It has examples, and one of them will likely fit your situation. Then change /etc/network/interfaces.
I'm guessing you'll need a couple of lines like:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
In addition, find out what kernel module your network adapter uses. Look in /etc/modules; if the module isn't listed, add it.
