That's strange. What Linux app are you using to get the dhcp address?
Debian uses "dlclient", and it works fine. Of course, the correct
f/w ports must be open:

# grep dhcl /var/log/syslog
<snip t/s> dhclient-2.2.x: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 172.19.49.16 port 67
<snip t/s> dhclient-2.2.x: DHCPACK from 172.19.49.16
<snip t/s> dhclient-2.2.x: bound to 68.11.66.83 -- renewal in 43200
seconds.
