Two things:
  • dhclient can only be executed as root.
  • Secondly, if you have already set the IP address, netmask, DNS server, & default router manually, why are you wanting to run dhclient at all?
If you have successfully set the standard networking parameters, you can verify that you are indeed connected by issuing ping to an arbitrary site:

$ ping google.com
