DHCP Hands Out the Wrong Gateway

Clients lease an address but cannot reach anything beyond the segment.

Scenario

Fernbank Studios replaced the DHCP appliance on its production floor. Workstations come up with an address straight away, but nothing outside the floor network is reachable from any of them. The address, mask and DNS details all look correct on the affected machines. Restore off-segment connectivity for DHCP clients.
