Are there any messages in the log from the DHCP server? There is also a DHCP client list, that shows the leases given out. I am not sure where Mandrake puts it. Check in the /var tree.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)

You should also check the firewall settings on the server to see if it is even letting DHCP traffic in. Requests to the server require different settings then a client does.
