I installed Mepis bets 7 and it was working great. I did a dist-upgrade and everything went fine, but now when I boot up DHCP is no longer working. I have to open terminal and type dhclient eth0.
How can I make this automatic again?

Open mnetwork (in Mepis utilities or in a console) and you'll see an option to check eth to startat startup. This often happens after an upgrade of Mepis utilities.
