You can also run setup from a root prompt to change the network settings. Also, if you are running iptables/ipchains, you might be blocking the DHCP port. chkconfig --list iptables will tell you if you are running iptables. If you are, you might want to turn it off and see if your DHCP works. Do this via chkconfig iptables off, and reboot. If this works you have some firewall work to do..., and you should use a firewall if you are connected to the net. You can substitute ipchains in the chkconfig commands above, if that is what you are using.
