Interestingly enough, I've had NO problem getting WIDE DHCP 1.3 to
work with my windows 95 box (no, I didn't change ANYTHING except that
it should get its IP address dynamically)   but I'm dealing with the
same problem with a Lan Workplace for DOS (Bootp) and its NOT getting
the response... although the dhcpm program shows that there is a
response... eg..

Both reply, but if the novell box is NOT running bootpd, there is not
a valid reply sent to the client...

I'm going to try the other port... (fingers crossed!)
