It would be nice to get the exact error messages. But I'm guessing your
computer doesn't connect to your dhcp server.

This is definitely not related to the networking problem, but to your X
problem.

[snip interfaces]
Your interfaces looks normal (for a dhcp connection). You can try the
following. As root run:
ifconfig eth0 address 192.168.0.114 up
then try to ping your gateway. If this works then it is a problem with
your gateway not responding to the dhcp query.

P.S. A new thread should really be a new thread (not just a change of
subject). You could get more answers that way.
