dhcp does not assign IP to nic

I've been tryin to get my DHCP(router) to assign an ip to my nic but it doesn't. If i manually assign it, it cannot ping my other computer or router and is not seen on the network.
Running Vector Linux 4.0 (slackware 9.0.0)
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

First off, when you plug the network cable into your system, do you get a link light?

oops, sorry about that. Well, i can assign a private ip and netmask to it, but after i do, i cannot ping any other device. Yes I do have link light but no activity light.

Even though the NIC may physically on, linux may not be able to detect its connection with the router. Please specify your router model.

Do you have a switch or router, and what do you have for a internet connection?
