Long ago in 2007, I saw a M$ article that describes that Vista has an extremely short delay period to get an IP. If it doesn't get it within 1 second, it gives up (and maybe tries again). Common DHCP servers ping an IP address, wait 1 second for a reply, and if no reply, assumes the IP is available and leases it to the booting computer.
1 second is a lot of time. in my network there are lots of windoze vista users and they get IP by dhcpd without problems.
delays in LAN are within 10ms range even with a lot of switches. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
