One thought, have you got both amchines set to the same timezone ? I've got these optins set in the global portion of the dhcpd.conf and things work fine. option domain-name "moria.org"; option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1, 146.231.128.5, 146.231.29.2 ; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.00; option routers 192.168.1.1; default-lease-time 72000; max-lease-time 144000; subnet stuff { } This seems to be what is indicated by the dhcpd.conf man page.
