Ok - now I know I must be doing something wrong here folks; but let's start out from the beginning.
I constantly have customer computers in here, and generally, when I slap them on the network, I give them a static IP address along with gateway and the whole nine yards.
Today I decided I was exceptionally lazy and wanted to setup the DHCP server via the Mandrake Control Centre. Ok - no worries - accepted all the defaults and the likes. But it ain't seeming to work. Wassup?
I have a customer machine here - rebooted even - tried to renew the IP, but getting nothing - NADA - WTF am I doing wrong - or do I need to spend more than five minutes on this?
Mind you, I'm not having a whinge because of it, but I thought it should work right away and first off...(and I don't want to reboot)

Stephen; Check your security level while you're at it, and see if the dhcp server is providing IP's on the correct NIC if the server has two NIC's installed.
