It sounds as if the system isn't getting a DHCP reply for some reason. If 
I was having the problem I would use ifconfig -a to find out what state 
the network was in, and would try service iptables stop service ip6tables 
stop and setenforce 0 before trying again (disable IPv4 and IPv6 firewalls 
and disable selinux which might each be interfering with the DHCP 
process).
