My switches at work are all Cisco 2924 and 2950s. My one at home is just the back end of a Linksys WRT54Gv5 though. Haven't had a problem with either one. One customer site off the top of my head that also has pfSense+Vista has a 24 port Netgear 10/100 switch. I don't know of anyone with HP switches though personally. A couple of the threads I read suggested that the replies to a "broken" Vista request might not be making out of the NIC on the server side, or if it is, it may not be making it back to the clients. Some tcpdump/wireshark output from a broken request and reply from the server and client might be enlightening. If the packets don't leave the server NIC, you could try a few random things like disabling checksums to see if it makes any difference (not that it should, but it's something to try...)
