With RH7.2, using DHCP requires:
 - making sure you have dhcpcd (the DHCP client daemon) installed
 - setting your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file to:
   DEVICE=eth0
   ONBOOT=yes
   BOOTPROTO=dhcp
   (if you are using eth0)
   I believe you can do this step with RedHat's netconfig
   by checking the "Use dynamic IP configuration (BOOTP/DHCP)"
   button but I cheated and used a text editor.
