In the meantime, There is a gnome Network app which can manage network connections. You can set dhcp or static info using that tool. For better information or how to do it in a console, you'll have to wait for someone else to response. also, try "man dhclient" what about your wifi card? is that working? ndiswrapper has worked well for me.
