I am running Checkpoint management and gateway software on my Windows

Unless I open up the policy totally,  DHCP requests do not work.  I get
an error in the log when a DHCP request comes through which simply drops
the request with no reason.  Even if there is a rule implicity
specifying to allow tcp 67 to the DHCP server,  it still drops the
packets on that rule.

Any ideas?

The initial DHCP discovery from the clients will be broadcast; they will
not be sent to the DHCP server's address. Do you allow 67/udp sent to
255.255.255.255? Do you have a capture of packets that are dropped?
