*sigh* I must be going blind.  I could have sworn I saw the same
Ethernet address.

Yes, it's a different system.  And looking for that explained the
problem:

1.  I reboot echunga, which should have a dhcp server, but it didn't
    start.
2.  My RS/6000 tries to connect to the dhcp server to get an IP
    address, but it can't.

Sorry for the confusion.
