I recently had problems with BOOTP through a cisco gateway to a PC
running PC/TCP.  It seemed that the cisco was ignoring BOOTP requests
whose IP source address was 0.0.0.0.  As soon as I set the PC's IP
address to *any* non-zero address (e.g. 0.0.0.1 worked on our class B
net!), the BOOTP requests made it through the cisco.  (Note that I also
forced the request's IP destination to be the all-ones broadcast
address, 255.255.255.255.)

I was running 8.0(6) at the time.  I've since upgraded to 8.0(13) and
the problem seems to have disappeared.
