Arch box gets IP address from router but isn't showing up in leases

I have a Lynksis router that works on DHCP. My Arch box is getting an IP address from it, and the router's logs show its activity, but it does not show up on the router's list of DHCP leases. Does anybody have any idea why this would be the case, or what I might do to correct it?

This is probably better in off-topic since it seems like your router is what's broken....

I'm pretty sure this isn't a router problem. The leases it has assigned to other computers on the network (2 Mac and 2 Wintel) do show up on the lease list. The issue definitely seems to be specific to Arch.

My Telewells DHCP table shows an entry for my laptops lan (plugged it in for a while to enable wlan) but not the wlan and no entry for my lan server, both running arch...weird

edit: oh there's an ARP table too which does show both the server and laptop (wlan)...
