Default DHCP Server

I'm using 4.3. I have this working many times over in different places but I just set it up again at home. My laptop gets an IP address from the server during boot but it does not add the router/default gateway to the routing table. If I let the laptop boot and then manually run dhclient again after I login, it works. I checked the dhclient.conf on the laptop and it is set to get the router info along with everything else. Any ideas as to why that gateway would not be set during the boot dhcp process?

Default

Without more information, I can only guess a misconfigured /etc/hostname.<interface> file.

Here is the applicable code from the 4.3-release version of /etc/netstart:
Code:
        "dhcp")
            [ "$name" = "NONE" ] && name=
            [ "$mask" = "NONE" ] && mask=
            [ "$bcaddr" = "NONE" ] && bcaddr=
            cmd="ifconfig $if $name $mask $bcaddr $ext1 $ext2 down"
            cmd="$cmd;dhclient $if"
