Yes.

okay, something like this (Im going from memory, I have to reconfigure 
back to the Linksys thingee to get back online):

DHCPREQUEST .... interval X
DHCPDISCOVER ... interval X
DHCPDISCOVER ... interval X

(Is that enough info?)

No firewall rules are configured yet.  I wanna get the hosts networked 
and pinging each other before adding another layer of complexity with 
the firewall script.

Now, Im tempted to say this isnt really a DHCP problem... last night the 
hosts couldnt ping each other.  I cant say for SURE its not DHCP though, 
but it could be route too. I do NOT know how to use route at the moment.
