Hey Patrick, What you might want to do is give us the output of the dhclient (I'm assuming you are talking about not getting an IP address from your ISP). Here's how you can do it...
Boot your LEAF box - don't worry about the dhclient activity here. Mount a floppy (type 'mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt' without the quotes) Type 'cd /mnt' (again no quotes) Type 'svi dhclient restart > results' (no quotes) Type 'sync' (no quotes) Type 'cd / ; umount /mnt' (no quotes) Done - just tke the disk and open the results file (if you are using a Windows box use wordpad or ms-dos edit) and copy and paste the text into your email. A couple of things could be affecting you - I've seen similar things with ISPs that have an ARP table that caches the MAC of the NIC requesting the IP for up to 3 days (apparently to sidestep possible IP address conflicts) - if that is the case you will need to release your IP before you can get it on a PC with a different MAC (i.e. your LEAF box). There are various ways to do this - in NT/2K go to a command prompt and type 'ipconfig /release adaptername' no quotes and you specify the nic name (can be obtained by doing ipconfig /all) - or in win9x just go to start and then run winipcfg - and then click on the Release All button. You can then shut down your PC and boot your LEAF box. Also make sure you don't need to send some info along with your dhcprequest - I.E. a client identifier (needed for @home and other broadband providers) - you should be able to find this out from your ISP and then configure the Dhclient package accordingly.
