Ubuntu :: Dhcp3-server On Computer Doesn't Respond?

I need to create a network boot from 1 laptop to another, with a crossover ethernet cable between them, no routers no nothing, my computer is supposed to be the server. I followed half dozen tutorials over the internet but I think my major problem is with the dhcp serverfollowed this tutorial[URL]but when the client boots it makes several dhcp requests but doesn't respondwireshark capture looks something like this until the client times out

Code:
1 0.000000000 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 DHCP DHCP Discover - Transaction ID 0x200d8ad
