Subject: Sniffing a DHCP Boot
Mime-Version: 1.0

We are testing DHCP as served by Windows NT, and just to NT clients
right now.  My Network General Sniffer did not see DHCP, so I asked 
their support group if DHCP is decoded.  The answer was, "We don't
think so."

In the trace file, which is taken from the client end, 
I see BOOTP packets, then an ARP for the IP address of the client
workstation, from the client workstation.

Do you folks have any experience with this?
