Anyone having issues with getting the BOOTP.DHCP Server working properly in Windows 7?...
Try (temporarily) disabling the firewall...

Same issue here! Disabling the Win7 Firewall did not work!...

Try to run program as administrator-i have the same issue and it works.

...To run in as an admin also doesn't work.

I've successfully used Rockwell's BOOTP server on windows 7...
All I can guess at is that my user is an administrator on the machine, UAC is completely disabled, firewall is disabled (not off, disabled)...

To get it working, I first ran the Start -> Programs -> Rockwell Software -> Factory Talk Tools -> Windows Firewall Config Utility. You will need admin privlidges to do this. I then ran the BOOTP/DHCP utility as administrator...

We also encountered problems...running Windows 7 in combination with this BOOTP/DHCP server...
BTW: In our case both firewall and UAC were switched off...
OK. Lot's of advice and feedback there on disabling Windows Firewall and UAC or running BOOTP/DHCP Server as an Administrator.
However, a key ingredient is missing so far and may be the final stumbling block for some or all of you for whom it will not work after trying the above.
Rockwell also advise users to disable any Anti-Virus software they may be running.
Note: For those unsure, Anti-Virus and Firewall are not the same thing.
For example, you may have Symantec, McAfee, Kaspersky, AVG, Avanti, etc., Anti-Virus software running in the background. Some of these Anti-Virus products can potentially block BOOTP/DHCP-Server from getting through.
As everyone's setup may be different, that extra piece of advice may or may not apply to you.
On our 3 programming workstations, BOOTP/DHCP Server runs fine...
We do not install or run Anti-Virus software.
BOOTP.exe is add to the Allow list in our Firewalls.
UAC is disabled by default.
We do not run BOOTP/DHCP Server as Administrator.
Or in any Compatibility Mode.
I hope that helps some you out in the future.
