[ale] Pulling a DHCP address from WinNT

[SanMillan, Todd]

looks like your machine is requesting a specific IP (192.168.1.21) and the
NT server is telling you no (that's the DHCP_NAK (Negative AKnowledgement)
server response).  

I know there was a problem with dhcpd that shipped back with RH 6.0 (1999?),
but both pump and dhcpd that ship with RH have worked since then getting IPs
from NT 4.x. I don't use Debian so I can't comment on distribution specific
issues.

No. I am using Debian Woody.  I don't think there is much
differences between Potato (stable) and Woody (testing).

Have you tried tcpdump to monitor what is going on?

Hmmm,  I started w/ pump and couldn't get it to work so I switched to
dhcpcd.  Are you using Debian potato?
