  I'm using a linksys router/firewall at home with YD 2.3.  I've never 
had an issue getting a ip address with any OS I've run.  (Win9x, OSX, 
RH6.3-8.0 as well)   Check to see if the kernel see your ethernet 
interface at all. `ifconfig eth0`  Run your dhcp client by hand. 
 `dhcpcd eth0` or `pump eth0`.
