dhcpcd ignores dhcp offers

I've just moved to cable modem from dialup adsl and arch can't get an IP from the network. Windows works fine, it sends out the dhcp requests, gets the offers back and assigns itself an ip. Arch sends out the requests, gets loads of offers back (watching with wireshark) but just ignores them.

I've tried starting dhcpcd with -d to get some debug but all I see is the MAC address it is using.

ifconfig after a dhcpcd attempt shows RX packets 7405, TX packets 22 so stuff is moving, no errors or dropped packets. I've also tried starting with -r to see if that helps, it didn't.

dhcpcd works fine getting an ip from my internal network.

Anyone any idea of how to fix it or what to look for next?
