Subject: DHCP 1.3 Beta does not work on FreeBSD 2.1

I recently got the port (FreeBSD-current/ports/net/dhcp) and source
(ftp://sh.wide.ad.jp/WIDE/free-ware/dhcp/dhcp-1.3beta.tar.gz) and it compiled
successfully on a FreeBSD 2.1. However, my Win95 (DHCP client) and
Lan Workplace (BOOTP client) cannot work with the WIDE DHCP 1.3 server.

Tcpdump showed the conversation as

09:15:33.454481 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: xid:0x5b025b02 [lbootp]
09:15:33.454481 arp who-has pc108 tell 172.22.20.3
09:15:33.964489 0:0:f8:0:e0:bb null > 0:0:f8:1:17:7 sap 45 I (s=32,r=1,C) len=572

		0000

My server 172.22.20.3 (0:0:f8:e0:bb) tried to give the address 172.22.21.108
to the client (0:0:f8:1:17:7). It seems to me that even tcpdump could not
decode the BOOTREPLY message.

Do you have any clue on how to make it work? Thanks very much.
