What kinds of network cards have you tried?

If the DHCP server is sending a response, then the most likely
explanation is that the client is able to send packets but not to
receive them.  I have seen this happen when the IRQ is probed
incorrectly.  (DOS drivers rely on the card's interrupt to receive
packets, not to send them.)

But it seems unlikely that this would happen with different brands of
cards using different drivers.  Or are you trying multiple cards using
the same driver?

You might also try the Linux boot disk.  It should be more reliable
about this sort of thing on most hardware.
