There is an implication here you are using a wired connection. Is that
correct?

Is there someway that I can set this up so that this is automatically
configured at boot time?

There should be.

As an aside, this is a recent re-install and the network was configured
manually during that process, not through Network Manager.

This implies you are using ifupdown to manage the interfaces.

Thanks for any advice on getting this set up to access the Net upon boot up.

As root, edit /etc/network/interfaces to have

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Save and do

ifdown -v eth0

and then

ifup -v eth0.
