This issue occurs because of a difference in design between Windows Vista and Microsoft
Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). Specifically, in Windows XP SP2, the BROADCAST
flag in DHCP discovery packets is set to 0 (disabled). In Windows Vista, the BROADCAST
flag in DHCP discovery packets is not disabled. Therefore, some routers and some non-
Microsoft DHCP servers cannot process the DHCP discovery packets.
RESOLUTION
Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the
registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly.
Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the
registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For
more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article

in Windows
To resolve this issue, disable the DHCP BROADCAST flag in Windows Vista. To do this,
follow these steps:
1. Click Start
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentCon
trolSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{GUI
D}
By setting this registry key to 1, Windows Vista will first try to obtain an IP address by using
the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets. If that fails, it will try to obtain an IP
address without using the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets.
