You should allow incoming packets TO port 67, 68, 69 and outgoing
packets FROM 67, 68, 69 (I think because of pecularities of DHCP, you
could even kick off 68 on incoming and 67 on outgoing, but I would
rather not be too rude on that). The client might choose any port, so
you should not setup firewall rules referencing the ports that the
client uses.

67/68 is for DHCP, 69 for TFTP (you can look up port numbers
in /etc/services).

In case you use multicast tftp (and you would know if you did),
additional ports might be needed - better keep your fingers out of that
for the moment :-) Chances are you are not using it.

I do not at all understand what is going on in the packet log you sent
earlier. This does not look like DHCP packets to me. Are your clients
running etherboot, or (Intel/...) PXE or some proprietary "boot agent"
that might try to do its own discovery method? Where did the client
(seems to be the .198, if I figure that right) get that address from in
the first place? If your problems persist, a dump right from the moment
of powering on the thin client could shed some light onto this.
