19 Your DHCP server serves addresses for other hardware OK?
20
21 Just not on this box running either Gentoo or W7?
22
23 When you say fixed addresses you mean the DHCP server gives out a
24 fixed IP address based on the MAC address of the requestor?
25
26 Can you check the DHCP logs on the DHCP server?

32
33 If that doesn't work, maybe a wireshark or tcpdump on your Gentoo
34 box and force it to send another DHCP request.
35
36 If you're using fixed IP addresses you might try manually configuring
37 the Gentoo box with it's IP address and see if networking all works
38 fine then?
