Ping error 1232; can't connect to own router

[Landon]

I have got a Dlink router and I am not able to connect to it. I have got 2 computers at home and one is having XP installed on it and the other one has Vista. I have also got 2 wireless, 1 ethernet and I am having problem connecting to the Vista machine wirelessly. When I am trying to ping from the Vista machine then it gives me "Error 1232 when pinging router" but when I try to ping with XP then all is well? Any ideas how do I fix this issue?

I have also turned firewall off on the computer but still that is not working. I have also check that MAC from pc, from the ip configt, is typed in correctly on router but still nothing.

The problem that you are facing can occur 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). In Windows Vista, the BROADCAST flag in DHCP discovery packets is not disabled. Therefore, some routers and some non-Microsoft DHCP servers cannot process the DHCP discovery packets. To fix this problem, go to this site here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233/en-us
