Built new patch cable, connected it, went to ip config on wifes system which was working before and renewed ip, I got the message of "unable to contact your dhcp server, request timed out."

What should I try now?

On my system the ip is assigned by dhcp, on my wifes it says "automatic private address"? Hers used to work and I havnt changed any settings, do you know why this is set up this way?
