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:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233/EN-US/ 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. Tim Nelson Systems/Network Engineer Rockbochs Inc.
