I hate to ask this, because it's my fault...
What's the output of 'rpm -q dhclient' ?

Looking through the packages lists, I don't see one for dhcp. 
It would appear that I left it out, and you're the first to notice it.

Can you verify that dhclient is installed? It should be dhclient-3.0pl1-15
If it isn't installed, it's on the first CD, please install it and try 
again.
