and the relevant part (last 20 lines) of your dhcpcd.cfg?



     
# Basic options required

clientid MAC
interface lan0
   


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   <==========================================

I'm no expert on dhcp but shouldn't these two interfaces be the same?!
 

Not necessarily. The interface parameter merely tells dhcpcd which interface to configure if none is specified on the command line when dhcpstrt is run. IOW, I also have interface lan0 (factory default) in dhcpcd.cfg. However, I can still get a DHCP address on lan1 with dhcpstrt -i lan1. However, dhcpstrt by itself will attempt to request an address on lan0, as that is the default set in dchpcd.cfg.
