Vista doesn't ack dhcp offer

[Doug Tucker]

sh-2.05b# uname -a
Linux dgate2 2.6.12.3 #1 SMP Tue Aug 2 17:25:50 CDT 2005 i686 GNU/Linux

By system firewall... you mean the server or the client?  Definately not
the issue with the client...applying the registry hack found here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233/en-us

....fixes the problem without any further changes to the server or
client.  But, doing this to every vista instance is simply impossible, I
need the server to somehow understand, and reply back with what the
client expects, to come back.
