    Hello,

    I am working with your project and a PXE Server. Whenever I launch your app, I get an error that reads "Port 67 already in use", or similar, if I already have the PXE Server running. If I stop the services on the PXE Server and then start your Dual DHCP DNS Server, then re-start the services on the PXE Server, it all works fine. Is the only way around this to start them in this order (Dual DHCP -> PXE Server) or is there a setting or workaround that you are aware of that can be used?

    Thank you for the project! And, thank  you in advance for any help!

      Nevermind! Figured it out. Simply add it as a service and all works fine!

      This is happening because PXE Server too has DHCP service, DHCP Services always listens at port 67. If you start Dual DHCP DNS Server first, it uses the port, but then PXE Servers DHCP Service does not start (it may not give error).

      Services start in their own sequence (may be alphabetically), so Dual DHCP DNS Service starts and blocks the port fist.

      The solution to this is to disable DHCP Service on PXE Server (if possible), otherwise let Dual DHCP DNS Server start first.

      Thanking for pointing out this.
