Running a DHCP server in Vista (vista prevent dhcp server to lease addresses)

[Albert]

Hi guys,
I've been crackin my head on this for long.

I had a DHCP server running to an XP machine (tftpd32), now I moved it into
Vista but I can't get it to work.

I disabled Windows Firewall.
I tried even to stop the "Base Filtering Engine" (BEF) Service.

No luck so far.

I'm sniffing the network with wireshark, and I can see the DHCP Discover
requests from clients, but seems that the OS prevent them to reach the
application (tftpd32).

I tried other DHCP servers, but the result is the same. In XP they all work.
Tried this hotfix aswell http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953268

Nothing seems to work in Vista.

Ouch what I said is not 100% correct.

Found "tiny DHCP" that can handle the requests correctly.
So there should be something related to tftpd32 and my java application (that
acts as dhcp server).

No wonder. "tftpd32" is a TFTP server, not a DHCP server.
