the laptop is the dhcp server. I use it as a router to connect my desktop to my wireless network. I usually put them to sleep while i'm at work during the day and wake them up when i come home. however when i wake them back up, my desktop isn't able to get leases/contact dhcpd until i restart it on the laptop. I ran tcpdump on the lan connection on the laptop and watched dhclient on the desktop ask for a lease without the laptop issuing a reply. I tried restarting the desktop/cycling network manager to no avail. the desktop is able to ping the laptop/ssh to it when i configure it with a static IP in this state, it only cannot get a dhcp lease. however, after i restart the service on the laptop, everything works perfectly.
