Did you restart dhcpd so it re-reads the config file to find that it should
be "talking" to the Raq?

I actually cheated and used a windows dhcp server as I too had problems with
linux giving out IPs. The only note when using a windows dhcp server is that
there was a setting called something like "follow on server" which was the
IP of the nfs server which was about to hand out the files. Without this
setting correct (and with dhcpd and nfsd on different machines) it just
wouldnt work.

There are plenty of freeware windows dhcpd around, but I would probably have
used vdhcp from www.pscs.co.uk
