* You should be able to use the internet on the new machine without any extra configuration, which is the whole point of DHCP.
* Check the logs (/var/log/messages) on your DHCP server. You should see the expected four steps of the communication (discover, offer, request, and ack).
* Notice also that the communication is made of broadcast messages targeted using the MAC address of the DHCP server and DHCP client, since for an obvious reason they cannot communicate using IP addresses.
