[olug] AAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!! (More DHCP)

[Jon]

type route and see what output there is.  DHCP isn't dependent on routes though I woudln't think.  Routes are ip based and dhcp is assigned at a lower level than that.  I guess make sure that you have the 192.168.1.0 network assigned.  if you type route you should see something like this.
localnet        *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0 
to add it I think you type
route add -net 192.168.1.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0 
I am probably wrong on this so double check it.
