Isn't this a slightly curious DHCPDISCOVER? I have something like ---------------------------------- Feb 9 01:04:06 mary dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth1 to 192.168.2.1 port 67 Feb 9 01:04:06 mary dhclient: DHCPACK from 192.168.2.1 ---------------------------------- I suspect your routing table is wrong. What does "route -n" say? Mine says ---------------------------------- [tim@mary ~]$ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 ---------------------------------- I would guess that the only thing wrong with your setup is the routing table and /etc/dhcpd on the desktop.
