What you need to do is assign the card a MAC address so the DHCP server can assign you an address.

I realise this is picky, but XP does not (by default) assign Mac addresses to anything. No OS does. The Mac address is assigned by the manufacturer of the network card or chipset and is burned in the ROM.
XP does give you the chance to change it though.
