Dhclient problem

I've rolled an FC6 live cd that configures eth0 via dhcp. The default
configuration works fine - /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=<MAC address>
 
In Wireshark, I see the DHCP Discover, Offer, and ACK. No problem.
 
As soon as I add:
DHCLIENTARGS="-s 192.168.1.100"
 
to /etc/sysconfig/network, dhclient hangs indefinitely. Using Wireshark
on the dhcp server, I can see the DHCP Discover packets coming in, and
the server's DHCP Offer response. But the FC box won't accept the
offer.
 
Anybody know what's going on here?
