You skipped my first suggestion, to provide the basic info specified in the
SR FAQ. I renew that. Specifics below.

Run "ps ax" and look for an entry for dhcpd.

I'll guess from this that you have a host running a full Linux distro (Red
Hat, Mandrake, Debian, Slackware, et.) available to you. Using the man
facility on the commands I'm giving you to run will teach you a lot about
the basics.

cd /var/log
grep dhcp *

I don't know offhand whether Dach and Bering use the same internal network
by default. Assuming the router's internal interface gets configured
successfully with both of them, though, you can check that with
ip route show
to see what each thinks its internal network is.

There are enormous differences between Dachstein and Bering, starting with
the kernel version each uses, going through the default firewall each uses,
and on from there.

Read the SR FAQ. Then do what it says.
