Hi,

There should not be any issue with Vista, in getting IP address from DHCP. Please make sure that internal firewall is disabled and NIC is configured properly.

can you connect to network resources if you assign a static IP to the Vista machine?

I dont see how the Vista machine is not able to obtain an IP.

what about the NIC settings? Instead of auto negotiate duplex and speed, force 100/Full, or whatever settings you are using.

also, try updating the NIC drivers on the Vista machine.
