For some reason it's not seeing the dhcp server

I assume you mean 192.168.0.8, rather than 192.168.08?

This entry has to be the full ip address that xplrionet is running on (i.e.
same as in xplrionet.xml)

You can only edit these files with the service stopped.

Also, although xplrionet does rewrite the dhcp.xml file - at no time does
it
change the value it read for ip address (unless some massive error is
occuring resulting in all variables being cleared).

Ensure service is stopped, edit file with full ip, restart service. Stop
service, and check ip is intact. Restart service and boot rio.
