I'm using static ip's with dhcpd.  The first one still works fine, but the second just isn't picking up the dhcp for some reason.

Thoughts?

Use Ethereal to sniff the traffic and you'll know exactly what's going on. If you don't know how to do that then learning how will be time well spent, IMO. Could be that the workstation isn't setup to send out a DHCP request, etc.

Also, you could check the DHCP server logs and/or look for options to crank up its logging level.

FYI, ws003 and ws004 are configured with the same MAC address in your dhcpd.conf file, so don't be surprised if you have trouble there as well. =)

And are you really using 100.100.100.x IP addresses? Assuming that you don't own those, it's probably not the greatest idea, though it's not the end of the world as long as you keep packets from going out to the Internet using those addresses.

There are some thoughts.  =)

Jason
