The ports on the 2948 have portfast enabled. They used the same switch with the XP workstations without a problem. The client has an old 2924XL switch that is uplink to the 2948G, and the Vista users were able to connect to the network ok after their connection was moved to the 2900XL.

Strange . you could try doing a "set port host" command which also shuts off trunking and channeling negotiation just in case Vista is really time sensative. If you manually do a release and renew does it pull an address ? Can you post the config minus the addressing ?

The following is a copy of the config.

They are also getting the following message on the switch:

IP-3-UDP_BADCKSUM: UDP bad checksum

The search results on this message do not tell much.

I can try and have them set the port host command and see if that changes anything.

Looks ok, why are all the ports set for 10 meg ??? Are all the nics hardcoded to 10 meg ?

"set port speed 2/1-36,2/38-46,2/48 10 " . Unless there is a reason for having all devices at 10 meg I would try a couple set as auto. This is severely restricting all the users on the switch. Maybe Vista is not handling the 10 meg setting too well .

set port speed x/x auto

set port duplex x/x auto
