Update:
I tried dhclient, then installed dhcp3-client, same thing, tried udhcpcd, same 
thing.
I dont have any firewall rules. 

I think the dhcp server is replying,(217.159.74.1) but the dhclient doesnt 
seem to see the responses ? ... see extract from tcpdump below...

my tcpdump is---
 
14:50:40.009283 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps:  xid:0x788eec67

.. etc etc etc.

Does this look right ?
