[ale] Pulling a DHCP address from WinNT

[jimpop at yahoo.com (Jim Popovitch)]

I have trouble pulling a dhcp address from my company's WinNT 4.0 DHCP
server.  I am running Debian Potato on laptop.  The Xircom network card
works fine, I can grab an IP from my Linksys router at home.  In
/var/log/syslog I get these messages:

dhcpcd[7132]: broadcasting DHCP_REQUEST for 192.168.1.21
dhcpcd[7132]: dns option is missing in DHCP server response.  Assuming
x.x.x.x
dhcpcd[7132]: hostName option is missing in DHCP server response
dhcpcd[7132]: dhcpInit DHCP_NAK server response received
last message repeated 3 times
dhcpcd[7132]: dhcpInit DHCP_NAK server response received
dhcpcd[7132]: timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server response
