I can't say I blame you as I've experienced the same. I'm using
dhcp-2.0-5 from RedHat 6.2. The exchange betwen the laptop and my
server is as follows:
May 27 19:30:12 smnolde dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:10:4b:f9:16:65 via
eth1
May 27 19:30:13 smnolde dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.10.3 to
00:10:4b:f9:16:65 via eth1
May 27 19:30:13 smnolde dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.10.3 from
00:10:4b:f9:16:65 via eth1
May 27 19:30:13 smnolde dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.10.3 to
00:10:4b:f9:16:65 via eth1
May 27 19:30:44 smnolde dhcpd: DHCPRELEASE of 139.74.129.132 from
52:41:53:20:60:96:f1:22:12:c7:bf:01:02:00:00:00 via eth1 (not found)

52:41:53:20:e0:92:6e:9d:33:c8:bf:01:01:00:00:00 via eth1

52:41:53:20:e0:92:6e:9d:33:c8:bf:01:01:00:00:00 via eth1
May 27 19:30:45 smnolde dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.10.10 to
52:41:53:20:e0:92:6e:9d:33:c8:bf:01:01:00:00:00 via eth1

52:41:53:20:e0:92:6e:9d:33:c8:bf:01:02:00:00:00 via eth1
May 27 19:31:45 smnolde dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.10.11 to
52:41:53:20:e0:92:6e:9d:33:c8:bf:01:02:00:00:00 via eth1
May 27 19:31:45 smnolde dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.10.11 from
52:41:53:20:e0:92:6e:9d:33:c8:bf:01:02:00:00:00 via eth1
May 27 19:31:45 smnolde dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.10.11 to

The weird thing I see is that there are three DHCPACKs after the laptop
accepts the first DHCPOFFER (192.168.10.3). The NT client may very well
be 'broken'.
