It almost sounds like the process is working (albeit slowly). When you press the Collect MAC Addresses button, nothing will happen, except that some output will scroll by in the terminal you opened the wizard from and the window will cease to respond as well as it should. If the window locks up, you should be able to make it respond by pinging any address on the interface it is collecting MACs on (i.e., if you're using the 10.0.0.0 subnet, and your server is 10.0.0.1, you can ping 10.0.0.2). Leave a continuous ping going on in another terminal, and the window should respond as it should. The clients should not be getting any dhcp information, since no dhcp server has been set up yet (it's still collecting MACs after all). However, the clients' MAC addresses should be popping up in the MAC collection window. Since MAC collection uses tcpdump, ipchains (or pfilter) shouldn't make a difference.
