What was the context when you have been told that?
If you are using NetworkManager then just change connection properties
to "manual" in the IPv4 section. Alternatively just configure ifupdown
(/etc/network/interfaces) and reboot if you are unsure how to reload
NetworkManager configuration. By default NetworkManager ignores
interfaces configured using ifupdown. I assume that neither tool
configured systemd-networkd on your machine. Check output of the
following commands
networkctl
nmcli
P.S. Enabling DHCP may allow to use default network configuration on all
devices.
