OK how do I DHCP to the server on your network from my desk here?

(assuming that there are no NATs or firewalls)

If it was pure IP it would work.

Huh?  DHCP is carried in UDP and IP.  There is a little 
funkiness in the
DHCPv4 transport, which we wouldn't have need if IPv4 
link-local addresses had been defined when RFC 2131 was 
published.  DHCPv6 uses link-local addresses and garden-variety IPv6.

DHCP is a technology that dynamically configures hosts.

That's not the point, the point here is that DHCP is not an 
Internet protocol.
It is an IETF protocol but not an Internet protocol. It 
does not layer 
on the IP stack.
