I don't think that DHCP is involved in your ADSL trouble.

DHCP is used on LAN with a local dhcp server, or in cable modem served 
by internet cable service (UPS, ...).

With ADSL modem, the IP are returned by the ADSL protocol : PPTP or PPOE 
or PPOA. You should run some pp* daemon to connect to the adsl modem 
(pptp, pppoe, ...) that launch pppd to open the ip tunnel to your ADSL 
provider.

When your ADSL connection us up you should see a ppp0 (or ppp1, ...) 
interface listed with 'ipconfig'.


Note: Windows say "dinamic ip address" for many differents protocols.
