A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said...

The route for 255.255.255.255 was only needed for 2.0.x kernels

no prob :)

That should work fine.  Let's check some simple things first.

1) Is dhcpd listed when you run "ps aux" on the Linux firewall?
2) What does the DHCP client do when you try to get an IP number?  Having
   around that actually *tells* you what's going on (ie not MacOS or
   Windows) is valuable in this situation.
3) What sort of ipchains rules (I'm assuming that you're using 2.2.x) does
   the Linux firewall have?  Can you list them?
