I am running Debian v-8.4.0 and have encountered a problem with my
internet connection. I duid a fresh reinstall after the computer
crashed due to fan failure about a month ago. I automatically set up
the internet connection during the installation and it worked until
several days ago when I had need to reboot the system.
Now, however, the internet connection is not started on booting the
system and it is necessart to run 'dhclient eth0' as root.
ifconfig returns:
root@AbNormal:/home/comp# ifconfig

Further, /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Wired Connection 1 is:
[connection]
id=Wired connection 1
uuid=53ac3b1f-4121-41d3-a303-45b1b75577e9
type=802-3-ethernet
[802-3-ethernet]
[ipv4]
method=auto
[ipv6]
method=auto
ip6-privacy=2
I am, however, loathe to edit the file as I don't know what I would be
doing.
A solution to the problem would be much appreciated as my wife uses to
compute for Ebay
Thanks in advance.
