RedHat 6.2 install throws exception

Going back to the ftp install, each and every time I try, the installation
dies shortly after I begin. It failed with the Red Hat ftp install and
again later with the Mandrake 7.1 ftp install. Each repeated attempt
produced the same results.
When you go to ftp install, you have some choices of static, DHCP and some
other option. Whenever I choose DHCP it fails to find my IP. If I choose
static IP it continues. How can I induce these ftp sites to continue the
ftp installation?
