not sure if you were replying to me or the previous poster....if me then I did read your problem and made a constructive post above about trying static ip/gateway entries. the above was just a little rant
try setting static IP and seeing if it works like that, if not then something proper fucked, if it does its just DHCP
Thats what it seemed like to me, that the DHCP was not being broadcast correctly to the client machine, ive seen one that had these symptoms and doing the fix located here worked (then I replaced the router)
'not vista compatible' my arse - DHCP is a long standardised and well documented protocol. Microsoft need to admit when things are their fault for not adhering to standards. should read 'vista's not compatible with...' lol
The change from what I understand came from a June update, what they changed is beyond me however a few routers are having trouble with Vista since then, there are a lot of documentation across the net for it.. Microsoft have even documented it which suggests its a reasonably large issue as they di not admit to screwing up (they even still state Vista has been a complete success)
But I agree with what your saying the problems Microsoft's rather than a protocols.
