Allow selecting the port to connect to #27

Closed RedstoneBlocks closed 1 year ago

I would like to use this tool to test a DHCP implementation, but I am unable to bind to port 67 while testing. A solution would be adding a command line switch to select the server port to connect to.

This tool is a ‘listener’

Just run it as an admin, and make sure it runs on a machine in the client’s network (assuming the server is in another subnet).

If they are in the same network just run it.

Once it’s listening - get ANOTHER client to issue a dhcp lease. And watch what happens.
