Silly question but... on first setup, when it can't find a DHCP server, this
means it's going to ask you to enter one using the LCD display. Your message
isn't clear on this, so: did you in fact enter an IP address, netmask, and
gateway using the LCD and buttons?

If not, this is most definitely your problem. If so, let us know what
configuration you're using and what else you've tried as diagnostics.
