you can change the configuration manually in /etc/network/interfaces changing "iface eth0 inet static" to "iface eth0 inet dhcp" then the system will get its IP via DHCP *at boottime* or when you "ifup" the interface. but since it's a laptop I suppose you want to acquire your IP when you plug in the network cable. if so: * comment out the "auto eth0" in /etc/network/interfaces * install the laptop-net package and plug in the cable...
