Grant,
    Can you ping the server? Set up the interface manually and then try.
Also, is the dhcp client connected directly to one of the interfaces on the
dhcp server? If that is the case you will need a cross over cable to do it
as opposed to a normal patch cable.

Ah, crossovers cables.  I guess I need to whip one of those up.  Do
you think I can get away with just a box cutter when converting a
patch cable if I'm careful?

Do the rest of my settings above look OK?
