What distro are you using? I don't understand what your problem is exactly. You are on a network that has dhcp but your not getting an ip?

Go to SystemSettings->Network and see if your network card is configured to get an ip via DHCP.

Do "lsmod" and look for 8139too in the output, if it's not there you need to load it with "modprobe 8139too".
