You never use a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to the same NIC, the
DHCP server is supposed to assign addresses on.

Eth0, is it connected to a LAN? What's on the LAN, besides the Wintendo?

How does the Wintendo acquire an IP address?

What's the IP address of the Wintendo?

How are these boxes connected to the Internet?
