POL Login Issues: Error POL-1040...Help?Follow

Ok guys, I'm having a problem. Whenever I try to connect to PlayOnline I get this error:

Error Code: POL-1040 "No response from DHCP server. Please try again later or check networking devices, such as cables and router or network settings."

Okay, what the heck? It's all Greek to me, and I know everything's fine on my end. Or at least I'm pretty sure...>.<;; Help?
