I'm having a hell of a time with Vista machines connecting to my Monowall
router. I found this regarding Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from
certain routers or from certain non-Microsoft DHCP servers, and gives the fix
for the computer. HOW MANY PEOPLE are knowledgable enough with Vista to fix
there own machine? »support.microsoft.com/default.as···33/en-us and Monowall's
latest version:
»m0n0.ch/wall/ "04/11/2009 - m0n0wall 1.3b16 released
This beta release improves IPv6 support (by providing more control over RAs,
adding DHCPv6, allowing IPv6 DNS servers, enabling IPv6 webGUI access, etc.),
adds initial basic support for secondary IP addresses, patches a kernel
security issue and adds support for Broadcom BCM5722 NICs."
Has anyone dealt with this before? Does anyone know how to make Vista work on
their Monowall routers without having to assign a static address on the Vista
machine? This is starting to become a pain in the a$$. The customer will
complain that they cannot connect to the captive portal and will say it worked
in the last place they were at. It kind of makes me wonder why Microsoft pulled
such a rotten joke on end-users.
