Hello Simon,

I'm not giving any filters at all. As I said, with the other client I can
see all four - discover, offer, request and ack.

What I noticed is that I have a route to 169.254.0.0, I believe that's
Microsoft's APIPA. And I cannot remove this with 'route del 169.254.0.0.

I'm stuck because I need to see what the dhcp client is receiveing.

Regards,
Twanny.
