Look in your log files for DHCP messages.
Well, I did look in all the log files under /var/log/ and found nothing
related to failure to provide an IP addy.
If the DHCP server is receiving requests, there will be log messages
from it. You should also have a bunch of messages just from it starting up.
But I do not understand what you mean by "you're still before the
iptables/forwarding stage"
Do you mean that there are rules preceding the rules I provided for ip
forwarding and masquerading,
such that the incoming request (for an IP addy) is never making it down
to the rules I had added?
No, DHCP requests are broadcast, so they don't forward. They stay in
the physical (or logical) subnet they are sent on. My understanding
from your first message is that your computer is connected to the
internet over wifi and it also has an ethernet port. Is the skype phone
on wifi or ethernet? You could watch for DHCP requests by running:
tcpdump -vn -i em1 port 68
and you could verify that the server is running using:
lsof -i udp:68
