DHCP server not responding

I have installed a new Windows 2003 64 bit server and configured it as a
DHCP server. It is replacing a Windows 2000 DHCP server that I configured and
was working. With Performance Monitor I can tell that the 2003 server is
getting Discovery packets but is not replying. The XP client that was getting
a lease from the 2000 server can't get one from the 2003 server. The 2003
server does function correctly for file sharing and other network tasks. The
2000 server also can not get a lease when it is set temporarily to be a DHCP
client. Since it never had a lease before, the problem wouldn't seem to be
due to lease expiration. Is 64 bit DHCP different than 32 bit ? Do you have
any suggestions to determine where the problem is ?
Thank you.

Are you using Active Directory? If so, did you authorize the DHCP server in
AD? Did you create and activate a scope?

DHCP in 64 bit is not different than on 32 bit as far as I know.

The server was authorized in AD and the scope was activated. I'm familiar
with DHCP and it has only just worked on other servers. This is the first
time I've used DHCP on a 64 bit server. My only theory is that the driver for
the Broadcom Netxtreme NIC is failing to do DHCP. I don't know how to tell at
what step the request for a lease is failing.
