Install a DHCP client. Should be it.

I personally prefer not to use the ISC one (although I use the ISC DHCP
server), there's an alternative Debian provides in the "dhcpcd" package,
which has some nicer features, like the option to run a script when a new
lease is obtained..

But, that's just me, any decent DHCP client will do. :)
