Uni network in Germany...

So here's a strange question. My girlfriend is going to Germany to study abroad for the next year. She has an Apple ibook and is supposed to be provided free internet in her dorm. She is concerned she won't be able to get it setup properlly once she gets over there. She is fairly sure that it's high speed so it should be an ethernet type interface.

Based on my college experience, most networks use DHCP, does anyone know if she should expect the same in Germany? I'm not sure if her computer will auto detect the type of connection or what there, so I was hoping I could have it setup for the most likely method for her before she left. She tried and couldn't find anything on the uni's housing website. I can't because I don't speak German.

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks in advance...
