DHCP client and server for same machine

1. Connecting two machines:; Client only communicate with server when server continuously pings client.

Server:
Linux 2.0.29
Smc Etherez 8149
Loadable module for smc ultra v2.00
Crossover wires or smc hub and store bought cables
No Dns
No Error messages on boot up
No Error messages in logs
No problems networking locally in the server
No problem pinging the client (Linux/win)

Client:
Linux 2.0.29/Win
3com etherlink3 lan+33.6 3C562D/3C563D (pcmcia)
Pcmcia Card Services v2.9.2 or higher to version that supports the card
specifically.
No Dns
No Error messages on boot up
No Error messages in logs
No problems networking locally in the client

Problem:
Unless the Server is continuously pinging clients ip # ,
the client will comunicate with the server for a few moments, then stop.
Once I start pinging the client from the server they communicate fine.

When I run both machines in win with NetBEUI, it runs as smooth as silk.

Thanks Harley
