[NTLUG:Discuss] NT won't talk to Linux DHCP server

[Brian]

I've set up the Moreton Bay DHCP server (a very minimal, small-footprint
server which does exactly what I want and no more:  provide an IP
address and a DNS address) on my Linux box.  Requests from a Linux DHCP
client are handled with no problem.  When a request is broadcast from
the NT box, the server receives the DHCP request, responds with an
offer, and the NT box simply ignores it.

I read somewhere that when a broadcast message is sent from a Linux box,
an IP address of 0.0.0.0 is (incorrectly) used.  While most DHCP clients
can handle this non-compliant message, M$ fails miserably.

Anybody know of a quick workaround to fix this?
