Jim,
Does the system connect to the Internet using wireless while the ethernet cable is disconnected ?
To revert to DHCP, ideally you would undo any changes you made since it last worked using the ethernet cable.
If you don't know what changes you made, then the following steps may override them.
Click the network icon.
On a typical desktop, this is at the bottom right, near the clock but your desktop may be different.
Click 'Edit Connections'
You should see 'Ethernet' and 'Wi-Fi' and perhaps others.
Below 'Ethernet', you should see a named connection, typically 'Wired connection 1'
Highlight 'Wired connection 1', then click the cog icon.
On the window that opens, check that this is the interface you want to change.
Select the 'IPv4 Settings' tab
Click the 'Method' pull down and select 'Automatic (DHCP)', then save and exit out
You may need to reboot.
