I can't get it to work under 2.1. I think it's setup okay. It sees the request
from the machine, but the response doesn't seem to get back to it:

The client eventually times-out.
I can setup the vanilla BOOTPD and get it to reply to the client with no problems
so I don't think the problem is there.
Any ideas?
