Packet length 1514 is normal - it is what you get on ethernets with
MTU = 1500 (1500 + 6 bytes source MAC + 6 bytes dest. MAC + 2 bytes
forgot what - type, I think). Whoever is fragmenting this packet is
not updating the IP header. I think buggy TCP/IP stack on something.

Another indication of buggy TCP/IP implementation. Sending UDP packets
with ip_hdr->protocol set to IPPROTO_TCP.

Clue 3: 137/UDP is Netbios name service - essentially, a windows-only thing.

Is your DHCP server on Windows?
