1. The connection from the second wireless bridge through to the ISP is working fine.
2. The wireless connection between the bridges is working fine.
3. The ISP is not using MAC-address authentication (since 2 different PCs got leases -- I am assuming here that they had different NICs).
4. Assuming that these other 2 PCs were running some Windows versions (since that's what people usually seem to mean when they say "PC" and don't specify an OS - do please correct me if I am wrong), and that all you did to set them up was select "Obtain an IP address automatically" in Networking, we can also infer that the ISP expects nothing fancy in the way of authentication.
All this turns your problem into a variant of "My LEAF router cannot connect to the Internet". The problem might be anywhere from an IRQ conflict in the hardware through a firewall problem. So ... when the (WinXX) PCs obtained DHCP leases, were the addresses always the same? Always on the same network? If either answer is "yes", I'd suggest you try assigning the same address statically to the LEAF router, then walking through the relevant troubleshooting outline in the "my router can't ping ..." sections of the LEAF FAQ.

Well .. your logs didn't really tell us much about what you are doing. But as long as eth0 is the right interface for your wireless connection, they don't suggest any problem with the setup on the LEAF end.I haven't used DHCP at all before, and the reason I posted was in case I was doing something obviously wrong with pump/dhclient.
