I had a router that after a power outage no longer accepted addresses 
served up by OS/2 (Paul's port of a dhcp server). Everything else seemed 
fine on it. Replaced it and everything was fine.
My sons Win 7 doesn't like my dhcp server either though it is happy with 
a static address or the routers dhcp server.
