The clients always keep their IP address, as well as the correct DNS 
servers - I watched the output of /usr/sbin/dhcp -d -f, and when the 
clients drop, the server doesn't send/recieve anything, IP-wise.

Running netstat -nr on one of my linux boxes (how to you check in 
WinXP??), I get the following:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt

Thanks for the help!
