I'm not sure you have your device configured as a DHCP server properly.

169.254.0.0/16 is reserved as a link local self assigned address 
block. All sort of odd things may happen if you use that. It's 
entirely possible that the test client is self-assigning itself and 
address rather than getting it from your test server - that would be 
the case if the server wasn't actually running.

If the server wasn't running, then you'd see no DHCP-Nack from it.

Do you see any logging from your test server ?

WANTED: "Software CD ROM Kit" for Canon CLBP 360-PS printer (Canon 
part no RH6-3612, or possibly RH6-3810, or RH6-3610 might do). I've a 
dead HD and need this CD so I can replace the disk and re-install the 
printer OS on it.
This is NOT the same thing as the printer drivers to load on the 
computer - there's no problem there.
If anyone knows where I might get hold of one I'd be grateful - 
requests to Canon drew a blank, it's been out of support for years.
Alternatively, if anyone has one of these and would let me image 
their hard disk ...
