<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I have a rather strange problem
that I hope someone can help me with. This is a general DCHP issue as I am not
sure what software the server is running.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">We have
several <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns =
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place>Vista</st1:place>
clients that are not able to get an IP address when trying to connect
wirelessly. They connect just fine when wired. The DHCP server is the same
machine. I have done packet captures for both wired and wireless. I can see the
DHCPREQUEST go to the server and I can see the DHCPOFFER come from the server.
The server logs confirm the request and offer. In each case (wired and wireless)
the DHCPOFFER looks identical. The only difference is that when wired the
computer responds to the DHCPOFFER and does not respond when wireless.<SPAN

adapter, but that could be because we have not looked for one.</SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">The only way we have found to
resolve this issue is to do the <st1:place>Vista</st1:place> registry fix to
turn off the broadcast flag in the DHCPREQUEST for the wireless adapter (KB
928233). While this will work, it means that any student who wants to connect to
the wireless AND has <st1:place>Vista</st1:place> will need to bring their
computer to our office to have the fix implemented.</P>

and found another way to resolve it?</P>
