Are you sure you configured it as DHCP *CLIENT* instead of configuring
the DHCP server ?

If you do
$TCPIP SHOW INTERFACE/FULL what does it show ?


Here is some text from the TCPIP Services management manual. (you can
get the PDF from the www.hp.com/go/vms/doc (DHCP client is chapter 8)

1. The TCPIP$STARTUP procedure installs the DHCP client image,
TCPIP$DHCP_CLIENT.EXE, with the appropriate OpenVMS system
privileges.

2. Then it issues the following command to start the interface:

$ TCPIP START COMMUNICATION/INITIALIZE

This command creates a subprocess and runs the DHCPCONF utility as
follows to set up the interface:

DHCPCONF -W 30 ifname START

Alternatively, the command procedure issues the following command if the
interface is the primary interface:

DHCPCONF -P -W 30 ifname START

The -w 30 option on the DHCPCONF command line tells DHCPCONF to
wait for a maximum of 30 seconds before returning. This wait prevents
the TCPIP$STARTUP procedure from hanging indefinitely when there are
problems reaching a DHCP server. If the 30-second timer expires, the DHCP
client process will, by default, continue to complete the DHCP dialog
until it
is successful or it is shut down.
