I ran into a similar problem between an XP client and an Efficient router which was the DHCP server. Basically, it looked like XP (Home) would not recognize anyboy but itself as worthy of assigning IPs.

What I did to solve the problem:

-disabled the client's network connection
-unplugged the client from the network (redundant perhaps)
-restarted DHCP on the router (server in your case)
-plugged the client back into the network
-configured a new network connection for the client (I might have been able to use the old one, but I was doing telephone support and didn't know how the customer had configured the first one.)

Client then picked up an IP address without any problem. Hope this helps some.

Try removing the default gateway setting from the DHCP options and then do an ipconfig /release and then ipconfig/renew on the client. They don't need it, since they are using a dial-up connection for the Internet, and it may be causing the workstation to try to use the Ethernet connection to route external IP addresses, which is not what you're doing. Are you using 3rd party software for dial-up or what? Hope this helps!
