I would add:
- Are the client ("remote linux machine") and DHCP server connected
to the same network?
- If not, is a DHCP relay in use?
- What is shown in the DHCP server logs?
- What is shown in the *client* leases file?
- Is the DHCP response actually reaching the client, and in good time?
[The presence of a route for 169.254.0.0/16 suggests to me not.]
