I recently ran into an issue where one of our client's laptops would/could not 
get an IP address from one of our boxes running pfSense 1.2-RELEASE. Connecting 
via wireless or wired made no difference and other machines could connect just 
fine without issue. After doing some searching, I've found that Vista has some 
"issues" with DHCP. The full Microsoft Article is here:

In short, Vista needs to have it's DHCP broadcast flags modified to use DHCP on 
"some routers and some non-Microsoft DHCP servers". I can only assume it is a 
problem with Vista and not the underlying DHCPD daemons as I don't believe any 
other OS's have this problem currently.

Just thought I'd post this to the list as I'm assuming some of you may run into 
the same problem at some point.
