Please be more specific. Given the sketchy information you have provided
we would have to do a LOT of guessing to figure out what you are doing.

1. Post your config.

2. Describe the topology.

3. Describe exactly what you are doing to test. How are you generating
the broadcast? On what machine? Another router? What kind of broadcast
are you generating? What debug command are you using and where are you
using it?

Note that the "ip helper-address" forwards specific broadcasts for the
eight UDP destination ports below:

37 time server
49 TACACS
53 DNS
67 BOOTP/DHCP Server
68 BOOTP/DHCP Client
69 TFTP
137 NETBIOS Name Service
138 NETBIOS Datagram Service

So if you are testing the helper-address command you will have to
generate one of those types of broadcasts.
