You might try putting the interface in promisc mode. I'm not sure that will be sufficent, but it might be. I suspect the problem is likely to be that the recieve filter on many NICs only supports two modes promisc and self+broadcast. You want a mode where you get self1+self2+broadcast. Some multicast filters probably do support this. > basically I'm trying to set up dhcp to configure unknown hosts > in a seperate network to allow them to register their mac address > and then be allocated a ip in the "real" network.

You might be able to create virtual ethernet interfaces via tap(4) and then bridge them. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
