Re: Wireless WiFi works on XP but not for Vista
Hi ican68

Found this bit of info that might help!

This is for Vista (any version) specific wireless issue. On some routers it appears that the default forced broadcasting is not supported thus causing the DHCP allocation to fail.

The following MS article partially addresses this flaw:
Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or from certain non-Microsoft DHCP servers

Good Luck
