Just considering all options. It nice to know what you work with;
gives one something to relates to.

No the port works well with me.

This is my dhcpd.conf:
subnet 192.168.31.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
authoritative;
do-forward-updates true;
ping-check true;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.31.255;
option routers 192.168.31.4;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.31.4;
option domain-name "kruij557.speed.planet.nl";
pool {
range 192.168.31.64 192.168.31.127;
min-lease-time 1800;
default-lease-time 3600;
max-lease-time 7200;
deny known clients;
}
pool {
range 192.168.31.128 192.168.31.255;
min-lease-time 86400;
default-lease-time 604800;
max-lease-time 2592000;
deny unknown clients;
}
}
Some static values here.

Could you NIC be broken or the drivers for that NIC?

Network config works ok for one, but only one, NIC. At least when i
last tried it.
