You'll see an ethernet interface, and your ethernet interface will see a dhcp server. read "man interfaces" and edit /etc/interfaces to automatically get a dhcp address for eth0. Do "dpkg -l dhcp-client"; if it doesn't show as installed apt-get it. Do ifconfig; if it shows eth0 all you need to do at this point is restart networking: "/etc/init.d/networking restart". Kevin
