nmcli just says it's not connected.
Well, 'man nmcli' describes a number of commands; 'status' and
'con'
with further options usually have the best chances to give you some
insights. This is not a place to quote the whole 'man nmcli'.
/var/log/messages appears to show a
DHCP problem (it sends a series of DISCOVER packets at increasing
intervals and then times out).
Are you blocking DHCP responses on a firewall? It is difficult to
guess what is happening without sitting at your console.
The first "sanity check" is to configure your network interface
static to make sure that the basic hardware/driver are healthy.
One thing at a time.
