To make sure, just disable the DHCP server (using either GNOME services
manager or by renaming all instances of /etc/rc?.d/S40dhcp3-server to
s40dhcp3-server (note the case difference).  Then try restarting
networking by:

$ /etc/init.d/networking restart

If you get an IP address through DHCP then you know your problem is the
DHCP server.
