Vista Network IP problem

[ahankiewicz]

Today I have seen the most thing, laptop wireless setup to see the router. the Router was set up with the 10.11.0.1 as its lan number. At first all was well but because had hot been updated I had to load the security etc updates.

As soon as the updates were completed and the machine was rebooted the wireles device changed to 169.254.107.86 with mask as 255.255.0.0 and i could not change it!

Both ipconfig /release or ipconfig /renew will not work!

There are three machines that used the same routes desktop with IP 10.11.0.2 (255.255.2550) the second 10.11.0.5 (255.255.255.0) there work correctly (Desktop OS is Windows 7 and the Laptop XP Pro)

Any ideas?

It might be that Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or from certain non-Microsoft DHCP servers. This issue occurs because of a difference in design between Windows Vista and Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). Specifically, in Windows XP SP2, the BROADCAST flag in DHCP discovery packets is set to 0 (disabled). For more information visit this website - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233
