And you are connected directly to the modem? No router?

Sometimes when u switch ur own firewall off the windows firewall kicks in. So just double check that. If u have a working Mac enter that into DHCP sniffer and if it still doesnt bring back results then there is something wrong with it. Make sure u tick Bruteforce and hit Discover. Try it.

Have you left it sniffing for at least 24 hours?

can i use dhcp force and sniff without a working mac ?

Yes.

Just start the software and forget about it. All you need to do is run the software, it looks like its doing nought, but it is, it's happily sniffing away.

It's a waiting game.
