Hi Chuck and thanks for your reply -- unfortunately dhclient still fails to 
get an IP...

Here's a copy of my dhclient.conf:

----

#dhclient config for interface ed0

interface "ed0" {
   send host-name "my.gateway.com";
   send dhcp-client-identifier "my.client.com";
   request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers,
   domain-name-servers, domain-name, time-servers;

   require domain-name-servers;
   media "media autoselect";
}

----

I've tried a program called "dhcping" which supposedly tries to ping the 
dhcp server.
All I get is "No answer". Any idea why linux's dhcpd and Windows work :-| ?

And, any other ideas?

Thanks
