I had the same problem. The fix was to comment out the last line in
/etc/network/interfaces. Should look like this:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
Note the last line is commented out.
