One thing to check is whether the Mac is overriding the DNS info that DHCP is trying to send. The DNS server field in the TCP/IP control panel should be empty if DHCP is to be setting the DNS servers. If you are running something older than OS 9, then the exact opposite advice may be in order (I think the older Mac software didn't know to pick up that info).
