Easy Workaround to enable cable DHCP conectivity

To enable lan via DHCP you can try to modify interfaces file:

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Then add next lines:

auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Save (ctrl+o), press enter and exit nano (ctrl+x). You can try to restart your network with:

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

But if it doesn't work, restart your computer.

Now you will be able to follow the steps provided in the post suggested by kos with a DHCP wired connection
