Have u tried to disable the IPv6 stack in Vista ? We are using monowall on wired networks with Vista, once the IPv6 stack is disabled, have not seen any issues with DHCP.

I usually have the customer get a different router and it works. Which takes me to a question: Why do you have customers connecting laptops directly to you? Do you run a hotspot? -RickG On Sun, May 17, 2009 at 10:09 PM, Joe Miller <joe.mil...@dslbyair.com> wrote: > > > 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..

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. > > > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > ---------- > WISPA Wants You!
