Vista Business acquiring IP from DHCP failed

[Chris Yuen]

Our company's network infrastructure makes use of 3Com SuperStack 3300 Switches.

One of our servers installed the Windows Server 2003 with DHCP Service and

any computers with Windows XP Professional can acquire the IP Addresses from that DHCP Server without any problem.

However, some of the users bought computers (bundled with Vista Business) for themselves and

found that their computers cannot acquire the IP Addresses successfully.

I tried even connecting their computers from our root switch, however, still cannot acquire the IP Addresses.

Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?

Thank you very much!

Perhaps a call to M$ might be the first thing to try?

Mr M$ said, we don't provide free technical support for the Windows Server to people.

This is the reason why people would like to use Linux products instead of M$ products.
