I came across this issue yesterday with Vista Basic Machine SP1, but
using a ZyXEL P-660HW adsl modem/router as the DHCP server. The Vista
machine would get an address from the router if a wired connection was
using, but refused via the wireless card. Setting a static address on
the wireless card fixed it. An XP machine on the same network had no
such issues.

I have encountered issues like this. It is not related with pfsense. Just
another vista bug. Try upgrading to SP 1 and then patch to the latest patches.

Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] Vista's DHCP Issues
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
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.
