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.

Ps I am not an expert.
