	Johan,

	It's difficult to help with so little detail, and with some ambiguity
	in your questions.

	Are you running ISC dhcpd?
	Do your server logs show arriving DHCPINFORM requests?
	Do your server logs show DHCPACK replies to these?
	Here is an extract from the log on one of our servers.

Aug 24 04:20:31 scarr dhcpd: DHCPINFORM from 10.137.169.75 via eth0
Aug 24 04:20:31 scarr dhcpd: DHCPACK to 10.137.169.75

	Is your server configured with the 'authoritative' option?
