I've got lost along the way here somewhere...

If it didn't get to a menu it probably didn't get address 180

You can't unfortunately, you should only have 1 dhcp server on a network in
practice

My illusions are shattered ;-)

www.ethereal.com (it's free)

Warning: I havent a clue if this is safe to install on SBS2003 - so I
wouldn't!

But hopefully you have the xplrionet software installed (or could install
it) on a win xp or w2k pc instead?

You need 2 files winp_cap_3_0 and ethereal-setup.exe

I could e-mail the versions I'm using on xp offlist if you like, but it's
about 14mb!
