Vista cannot get IP from DHCP with a wireless card
Hello,
I post this information I got on internet because it was hard to solve that problem. Model computer: Sony VAIO VGN-N21E/W SW1 (Swiss Model) Operating system: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Wireless card: LAN-Express Access Point: SonicWall Problem: The problem come from the new tcp/ip stack integrated in Vista.. I couldn't get any IP from a DHCP server. I could see the Access Point and connect my laptop on it but never get any IP from my DHCP server. How to solve: You have to modify a key in the registry to make your Vista able to get an IP from your DHCP server. 1. Click the Start button. 2. Select All Programs Accessories. 3. Right click Command Prompt and click Run as administrator. 4. Type regedit.exe and press enter. 5. Go to the following location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters 6. Right click this entry and select New Dword. 7. Rename the new entry ArpRetryCount (leave it set to 0 by default). 8. Restart the computer. 9. Reassociate with the SonicWALL. You should notice a successful connection. Hope it can help people.
