I use `dhtest`  ( https://sargandh.wordpress.com/2012/02/23/linux-dhcp-client-simulation-tool/ )

Test is `dhtest -m 00:00:11:22:33:44 -i eth0`

At server side is dnsmasq.
With `dhcp-range=192.168.45.100,192.168.45.200` I do get replies.
With `dhcp-range=192.168.45.19,proxy` I don't.

I would like to know it my "DHCP client" is wrong
or that I did misconfigure dnsmasq.


My complete /etc/dnsmasq.conf
----
# interface=eth0
dhcp-range=192.168.45.19,proxy
## dhcp-range=192.168.45.100,192.168.45.200

dhcp-option=vendor:PXEClient,6,2b

dhcp-boot=filename,192.168.45.19
log-dhcp

enable-tftp

tftp-root=/srv/tftpd

port=0
