I've had users complain about this, once i show them XP works fine, I
tell them to contact Microsoft.
I haven't had any complaints(That I know of) since I started using
pfSense, but it was obvious with other Firewall vendors.

I recently ran into an issue where one of our client's laptops would/could not get an IP

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.
