Ah, that might be the problem. I looked at my interfaces file and saw that my LAN interface did NOT have this enabled, however, the note at the beginning of the interfaces file says that the DHCP setting is used if the "interface is managed by DHCP". I took the 'managed' term to imply that the interface gets an address via DHCP, not that it serves DHCPD. As well, I was always able to get an IP without this entry - I just got the errors described in the original poster's message when a lease renewal was required. I will try changing this setting tonight, although I'm betting the 'dhcp' entry just does what I did manually...(?)
