Just so I'm clear: You can ping the NIC in question and obtain a 
response.  You can config a static IP address on it " and it 
activates"...does this mean that you can, for example, successfully 
telnet to the box?  ...and the other 'puters are using private 
address space successfully...have you tried sniffing the packets to 
see what the actual DHCP transaction looks like...?
