By hand.
Make sure you have a DHCP client installed before doing all this. In
/etc/network/interfaces, you should see a section similar to this:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.4
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1
Change it to this:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Your resolv.conf will be updated automatically by your DHCP client in
most cases, consult your DHCP client's documentation for it's exact
behavior.
Hope this helps.
