[TriLUG] DHCP renewal problems

Try setting the address manually:

   ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.103 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

And then see if you can see the DHCP server:

   ping 192.168.1.1

You may need to set a route:

   route add default dev eth0

See if there are any firewall rules:

   iptables -L -n -v

Post your DHCP client's config file here.  Some might have clauses
about "request" and "require" that can cause the client to refuse
an offered address.

Post your DHCP server's config file here.  There might be some
special entry for the server that works, and might be missing for
the one that doesn't.
