Baffled myself last week.

I went down to an office my company just bought. They had a wireless router, 2 printers, 5 PCs wireless, including the server on wireless.

La di da. I went through, setup the server with DHCP, authorized it, put in a wireless AP to remove the W-router (which had been handing out 192.168.x.x DHCP which isn't what we need).

I tried to connect but apparently the DHCP REQ is halted at the AP?

Would the AP broadcast a DHCP REQ to a wireless server?

Setup:

Linksys WAP connects into 8 port Linksys Switch which connects 2 Printers and a Cisco 1800 router.
Server and PCs/Laptops are all wireless. AP configured with gateway to be the router.. which probably should have been the server to get DHCP to work and have the server point to the gateway. That's excessive traffic on wireless though.

So apparently I just answered my own question. I should have set the gateway to be the server and not the router, then I would have had to configure the server to hand out DHCP with the correct gateway information.
