WIreless client cannot get ip

I have a setup that looks like this:
[server 192.168.1.1] --- [ switch ] --- [Wireless AP]
The server is running dhcp. The wireless access point is a Buffalo wla-g54c. It does NOT have dhcp, and I have it configured with WPA-PSK although that is probably irrelevent. I guess I should try unsecured just to be sure. The AP has address 1.253, netmask 255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.1.1.
With a wireless client, I get a connection, but the client (windows) fails trying to get a network address.
On the server, I run wireshark, with a filter
tcp.port == 67 or udp.port == 67. When I try to reconnect the client, no packets ever show up. If I just connect the client machine directly to the switch with a wire, I see a DHCP request.
Shouldn't the AP "forward" all broadcast packets from the wireless client? Why can't my wireless client get a network address assigned?
