DHCP Server not working?

[tandyuk]

Hi,

Have just done a fresh install, using http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_RELENG_8_3/amd64/pfSense_RELENG_2_1/livecd_installer/pfSense-LiveCD-2.1-RC0-amd64-20130612-1823.iso.gz

LAN subnet is configured as 192.168.65.0/24, with the pfsense having 192.168.65.1
WAN is PPPoE, and is connected - pfsense can ping the internet.

DHCP server is configured with 192.168.65.100 - 192.168.65.199, all other settings are blank.

Under System general setup, DHCP Servers are set to google, using WAN_PPPOE as gateway.

Using windows 8 however, DHCP is not working as expected:

No clue where windows 8 is getting the 0.0.0.0 gateway from.

Also the dhcp server doesnt appear to be giving out DNS server ips.

Once configured manually, the connection is fine and I can access the net as normal.

Ok, so after some further testing, this issue repeats itself on my windows 8 desktop.

Windows XP, Windows server 2012, OpenSuse and my VOIP phone get an address properly.
My pc however still gets 0.0.0.0 as a gateway address, and is unable to ping anything outside the lan.

Im guessing this must be an issue with my desktop, which is windows 8 pro x64, and has virtualbox installed.

I am just installing a vm with windows 8 to see if it is repeatable there.

Glad to report however that dhcp does appear to be working properly on everything other than my desktop! :)
