Check traffic on port 631
# tetherreal port 631
If you're getting traffic, then something else may be at play. Obviously,
you need port 631 to be open, ideally uni-directional. Maybe try flushing
firewalls to start with and see if that helps.
#iptables -F
DHCP shouldn't be the issue, provided the server is either static, or
resolvable from the networked machines.
