There is an implication here you are using a wired connection. Is that
correct?

This implies you are using ifupdown to manage the interfaces.

As root, edit /etc/network/interfaces to have
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Save and do
ifdown -v eth0
and then
ifup -v eth0.
