Auto Network Config Command Line

[LGN]

Hello all,

I just recently installed ubuntu server.
I want to be able to install packages and such but can't until I connect to Internet.
I tried wifi but couldn't figure out how (I'm a n00b) but now I have ethernet and can't figure out how to make it work.

So my question is, how do I connect to my Ethernet with ubuntu server, I could if I had graphical, but I can't get that until I have Internet.

I didn't configure network during install, so how do I do it now?

Servers (as I recall) still use /etc/network/interfaces for network configuration. Do you plan to use DHCP or static addressing (more common for servers)?

It's a home server, I think the cable company gives us DHCP.
Though the way I have it hooked up currently is via OS X Internet sharing with an Ethernet cable, if that makes any difference

Got it working!!!

But I can't get repos to update, something about unable to reach security.ubuntu.com
But I can connect, I pinger google.com and it worked perfectly!
