You said yourself there is no DHCP server, so why are you running DHCPD asking for an address?
If there's no DHCP server, assign yourself a static IP address within the range of the rest of the network.
getting a ip from a switch network
i am trying to get established onto a switch network without a router so basically there is no dhcp server on the network
i am useing backtrack 2
this is the step of command i use to get my laptop to work on my home network.
modprobe e100
ifconfig eth1 up
dhcpcd eth1
every thing work on the switch network until I hit the dhcpcd eth1 command the command becomes unresponsive
so is there a command to were I can get on this switch and associate with all the other computers.

A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
what command would i use
i think he was trying to run a dhcp server on his laptop.
if thats what u want google 4tw. or try www . troubleshooters.com/linux/dhcp.htm
and if the switch is a real switch (not a home router-switch-hub-firewall-multibullshit), then it means there's no way u can run a dhcp server on the switch cause it's a OSI level 2 device, meaning it has nothing to do with logical aka IP addresses.

no i am trying to establish a ip on a switch network
on this network there are all windows computers and if i am right like the first one that gets on the switch acts as the dhcp server
ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.137
route add gw 192.168.0.1

I think you need to lookup the basic fundamentals of my a network works before you even think of using BT

Wrong.
You need a DHCP server in some form to get an IP address via DHCP. On a purely Windows network, Windows Server 2003 will do this, but WinXP or Win2000 workstations do not have DHCP server functions built into them.
In a Microsoft "workgroup" configuration, the workstation with the highest credentials may act as the "Browse Master". However, that is for Windows Networking protocols and not TCP/IP. Possibly, that may be what you're thinking about.
You really do need to learn Networking 101.
