Vista doesn't ack dhcp offer

[Matt Cowger]

Doug, et al,

In the client side sniff, I see some discovers, but I don't see any
indication of the OFFER making it back to the client's
interface.....this would be why you don't get a successful lease on the
client side.  Sounds like your network between the DHCP server and your
client is somehow getting pissed and refusing to forward the traffic
along.

Have you tried putting your client on the same broadcast domain to
isolate your switching gear as the problem?

Gents!  No, no, I didn't just go away :).  Here is the requested clients
sniff, sorry it took so long to get it.  Long story, and I did have to
wire connect directly to the vlan in question to even perform a sniff,
but it's done.  Please see it here:

Thanks to everyone!!
