In the DHCP Request or Discover messages, there is a list of requested options.
Option 66 must be in that list or it will not be returned.

Subject: [Wireshark-users] DHCP option 66

We are trying to configure a client's DHCP server to provide Option 66 (TFTP
server address) as part of its lease acknowledgements.  We've configured and
troubleshooted the DHCP server to do so, but Option 66 simply does not show up
in packet captures of the DHCP transaction.  

We've tried swapping out the client router with a completely different
make/model, thinking perhaps the original router's DHCP server had a bug, but
the new router's DHCP acknowledgements also don't have any trace of Option 66.

Below is a text export of the acknowledgement frame from the new DHCP server to
the client.  Am I looking in the wrong spot for Option 66?
