looks like your not getting an IP from DHCP. Start their first. Check the
DHCP server. Add a static IP to your client and verify you can ping the
DHCP server and/or other hosts on your lan. Once you feel good about that,
enable dhcp again and see if you get an IP. If not, the server is not
handing out IPs, or you have some network issue or some issue on the local
machine.
