I assume you want to do it from a graphical environment so you should be looking for Network Manager. You can also write this in /etc/network/interfaces: allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp If it's already there than remove network-manager (also known as network-mangler) ;) Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
