Is there such a thing?  :-)

Gee, I even have the same pair of cards in my RH8 box that I
use for similar (though w2k-less) purposes.

These are different problems.  You'll want to get the IP
address assignment sorted out first.

Have you confirmed that that dhcpd is actually running and
listening on port 67?  (It only needs to be listening on eth1
in your case.  With RedHat, you can supply the command line
arguments to dhcpd in /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd to add this limitation.)
Do you have a packet filter rule that is keeping dhcp requests
from reaching the server?
