No DHCPOFFERS received

Struggling to get an old xubuntu box connected to the net, running 2.6.24-19-generic

If I try

sudo dhclient eth0

I get


No DHCPOFFERS received
No working leasaes in persistant database -sleeping


I have tried rebooting my router to no avail. My other box is connecting fine.

Is it setup for DHCP


cat /etc/network/interfaces

[afrodeity]

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth0

[pl@yer]

I would run wireshark on another system to see if the DHCP request is hitting the wire.
