Since you say a is ok, and c is not likely, then I'd check shorewall for ports 67 and 68? both tcp and udp? A 169.xx.xx.xx is the address it takes when tried to get from dhcp with no result (usually a timeout of a minute when starting network), AND pinged with no response. In the clients /var/log/message, grep for 'claim' /Björn
