Ubuntu – Ethernet connection Issues on Ubuntu 16.04

Let me preface this by saying that I've taken a look at the other ethernet & 16.04 issues on here and believe mine to be different.

I'm having issues connecting to the internet on a new installation of Ubuntu 16.04. I have an ethernet connection running to my desktop computer and am able to establish an internet connection via a separate operating system on the same machine. The motherboard doesn't have a WiFi card.

Here's the output from ifconfig:

shloosh@Desktop:~$ ifconfig
enp2s0    
  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr e0:3f:49:7f:db:f5  
  UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

  TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

  RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

lo        
  Link encap:Local Loopback  
  inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0

  collisions:0 txqueuelen:1 
  RX bytes:61616 (61.6 KB)  TX bytes:61616 (61.6 KB)

enp2s0 is the interface name that Network Manager assigned to the ethernet connection. I find it strange that it doesn't have an inet addr assigned.

And lshw:

shloosh@Desktop:~$ lshw -C network 
  *-network

And my /etc/network/interfaces file:

shloosh@Desktop:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them.
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

And lspci:

shloosh@Desktop:/etc$ lspci -nnk | grep -e 0200 -e 0280 -A2

Kernel driver in use: r8169

And finally lsmod:

shloosh@Desktop:~$ lsmod | grep r816*
r8169                  81920  0
mii                    16384  1 r8169

My routing table is empty. I'm new to Network Manager and fairly new to networking and am at a loss as to how to proceed. Any advice is appreciated.
