All, We've seen three instances lately where Windows workstations are failing to get an address via a wireless connection.
The DHCP server in this case is our firewall (a Palo Alto 3000 series), serving the guest network only. The three machines are a desktop destined for a trade show, a roaming laptop used in our lab, and a visiting vendor rep. The vendor rep was running Win8.1, the others are win10. The only commonality I saw was that each of the machines was running some sort of virtualization - two are using hyper-v, and one using virtualbox. I didn't have time to set up a packet capture on the firewall, but I was able to tail the dhcp log on the firewall, and in each case I never saw the request hit the log. In all cases, shutting down the services related to the virtualization did not solve the problem. Has anyone seen anything like this before, or have any ideas on how to troubleshoot it? I'm about to remove the virtualization config from our two machines to see if that makes a difference, but if that's the problem, then I'd love to know how to fix it, because the virtualization they're running is part of their required configuration.
