Hi William,

Try sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces, then add auto in front of eth0
if it is not already there.

Mine look's like this:

aruna at debian:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# 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
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Or you can add the command ifup eth0 to your rc.local file at /etc/rc.local
