Those logs give me some information, but nothing that helps debug the 
problem.  When I run the network configuration utility from 
System->Administration->Network and try activating the connection the error 
ends ub being "No DHCPOFFERS RECEIVED" .  When I run the network manager 
from the upper right hand corner of the menu bar I get the following:

I googled that and there were no solutions to the problem.  Any help would be 
greatly appreciated
