My ISP uses a regular IP address for it's DHCP server (65.252.128.3). I read something about DHCP TTL values being too low (16) for some large networks (AT&T) but as I can traceroute from DOS to the above IP in 4 hops I assume this is not the case with me.
I think I'll try Eigerstein and see if it works better as with your setup... otherwise, thanks and keep the ideas coming!
