Stan,
You may also have to set the option "dhcp-client-identifier" in the
/etc/dhclient.conf file. The value should be the MAC address of the
interface you are requesting the DHCP address on. I think this is
something that the Microsoft DHCP server expects.
E.g.
interface "ep0" {
send host-name "andare.fugue.com";
send dhcp-client-identifier 1:0:a0:24:ab:fb:9c;
}
