I have looked and looked and looked, I can't find an answer to this problem anywhere!
I want to connect my PI zero to an ethernet cable. I have a USB/Ethernet dongle. I have 3 zero's, all have USB-HUB hats. I plug in the dongle and reboot (which is what every video I've found says is all you have to do). When it comes back up, the ethernet port is recognized, but won't get an IP address.
Here's what ifconfig says:
eth0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 00:0e:c6:78:62:89 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
The only hint I can find suggests I need to add this to the interfaces file:
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet DHCP
But this changes nothing. It seems that the DHCP client is not running (although it works for the WiFi). But when I google 'DHCP setup raspberry pi zero' all I get it how to setup a server.
