[thechat] Network clue needed ...

[Martin Burns]

Yep, mine (Ubuntu Jaunty) says

martin at canna:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces 
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

Being Ubuntu of course, you don't need to go near CLI shenanigans. You can go to 
System>Preferences>Network Connections
edit the appropriate connection and go to the IPv4 tab, where you select Method: Automatic(DHCP)

Editing via GUI as above should do that for you.
