Hi Anthony;

I think with Ubuntu, /etc/network/interfaces should contain something  
like the following;
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.42
network 192.168.0.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1
The "auto eth0" being what *should* in theory cause the interface to  
be active on boot.

For dhcp I think it would be something like;

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

I hope that helps.
