I think current Maemo PC Connectivity version supports only DHCP server to be able to give IP address to the host PC connecting Maemo device through USB, BT or Wlan. We did not implement use cases where Maemo device itself gets it's address through DHCP...

Add an feature request for this to the maemo.org bugzilla.

Cheers,
