Subject:   ISC-dhclient can't get address?

I can't get the isc-dhclient 2.0.2 client to fetch an address.  The
symptoms are:

  Client sends DHCPDISCOVER,
  Server receives the DHCPDISCOVER,
  Server sends a DHCPOFFER,
  Client never receives the DHCPOFFER.

This is a Gateway Solo 9100 laptop, running 4.0 Release, and the problem
happens with the default dhclient as well as the version from the latest
port.  The ethernet port is a Netgear FA410TX, using the ed driver.  Bpf
*is* configured.

This system gets its address without problems using Win98 (it's dual-booted).

I've tried the suggestion from the DHCP book of adding a host route to
255.255.255.255 to no avail.

Any help gladly appreciated!
