Routing Table Empty


Hi guys i have my centos 5.3 connected to our network, im getting my ip via dhcp. i noticed that im not getting an ip even if tried restarting my pc and the network service but still no ip is being provided. I have checked the routing table in my box and its empty, i believe this is the cause. Is there a way to recover the routing table or fix this issue.

the routing table is going to be empty if you are not getting anythign back from the dhcp server. do you have the dhcdbd client installed? you can check this by running
Code:
dhclient
which may or may not give you an ip address.

please check relevant interface is up/driver loaded
also check there is not a firewall blocking incoming udp requests on ports 67/68
