The simplest solution is just disable the router DHCP and set up the Myth
box to offer leases for other machines that join your network. I had to do
the same on my network. It's a pretty simple config file. Here's mine for
dhcp3:
#################################################################
option domain-name "local";
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
allow bootp;
allow booting;
#option ip-forwarding false; # No IP forwarding
#option mask-supplier false; # Don't respond to ICMP Mask req
# offer leases to other machines that attach to the network.
subnet 10.192.143.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 10.192.143.100;
range 10.192.143.150 10.192.143.250;
}
# Enhanced configurations for the MVPs.
group {
next-server 10.192.143.2; # IP address of your TFTP server
host mvp {
# NOTE: Change the hardware ethernet to the MAC address of your
actual MVP
hardware ethernet 00:0d:fe:00:0d:13;
fixed-address 10.192.143.57;
filename "/local/tftpboot/dongle.bin.mvpmc";
option root-path "/home/mvp,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,nolock";
}
host helius1 {
# NOTE: Change the hardware ethernet to the MAC address of your
actual MVP
hardware ethernet 00:0f:22:00:05:c1;
fixed-address 10.192.143.58;
filename "/local/tftpboot/dongle.bin.mvpmc";
option root-path "/home/mvp,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,nolock";
}
}

Like presidents, there only needs to be one dhcp server on a network
segment at a time.
Hope this helps,
