Can't receive DHCP address?!?

Hi,
On my companys laptop i run Windows Vista and Arch linux.

Yesterday when I tried to boot Arch at my company I received

:: Networking
NAK: requested address not available from...

It seems that I can't get an IP anymore?

If I boot Windows Vista it works like a charm, even tried Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD and I received an address...

My rc.conf file:
eth0="dhcp"

It worked fine last week.

What could have happened? Whats wrong?

Do you have eth0 listed in the INTERFACES option in rc.conf?

Yes,
Solved it by adding blacklist and the IP to /etc/dhcpcd.conf
