I am unable to acquire a wired DHCP ip address.
I have Ubuntu 13.10 installed on a thin mini-itx ECS Q77H2-TI motherboard. I'm connecting to my cable modem which does provide ip addresses to other (windows, mac osx) machines I've connected to it.
When I run ifconfig I see:
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 74:27:ea:c2:62:58

cat /etc/network/interfaces gives:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
When I try tcpdump -i eth0 -n, I see nothing, but tcpdump -i eth1 -n, I see plenty of activity when wired.
I would love some pointers on how to get this machine connected to the internet.
Cheers,
Owen.

Your pc view only eth1 interface. Ifconfig don't see eth0. You can try with nm-tool command to see nic card, state ... Simple output will be like this
Also you can try to renew ip settings from dhcp server first
next
or
You will probably get ip from dhcp ...
If is your cable in eth0 interface try to up interface
