If you can not get an DHCPOFFER, then there is a problem with the
DHCP-Server. Exactly, with the range of the IP addresses and the
leasetime which maybe to long...
I had the same problem here in Strasbourg in a internet cafe where
the ADSL-Router can not serve more dtehn 20 IP adresses per DHCP.
So, - if there are 20 Clients, and deconnenctin g and going home
you come in and get no IP addrees from the Router because the IP
addresses are reserved for the previously 20 MAC adresses.
Then you have two choices:
1) Reboot the ADSL-Router
2) Wait for the end of the leastime
The Internet cafe had a leasetime of 86400 seconds (24 hours) and
after seting it to 10800 seconds all was working fine.
