When i experienced that symptom (timeout), it was because my ISP required that
i pass a hostname with the request: "dhcpcd -h cr843732-a" was the thing it
needed. To make that an automatic phenomenon during bootup, make sure to
include the following in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (for eth0):
NEED_HOSTNAME=1
DHCP_HOSTNAME=cr843732-a
So check that out, it might be it.
