What dhcp client does tomsrtbt use?

If it uses dhclient (the ISC dhcp client), you should see some lines 
about DHCP in the syslog. With other clients (eg. pump) you can try to 
start the client manually (perhaps with some -v option to turn on 
verbose output) and see if it tells you something interesting.

Usually the clients indicate whether they found a dhcp server at all, 
and whether it supplied an ip address.


Good luck,
