A customer recently purchased a laptop with vista, but wasn’t able to get it working with his wireless linksys router.

I tried both wired and wireless setups, but neither worked (yet an XP Pc would work just fine).

I even tried changing wireless security to “none”

A quick search found suggestions about using a static IP address, but that was no use.

I also found: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233

So i tried:

DhcpConnDisableBcastFlagToggle 1 – default
DhcpConnBcastFlagToggle 0
DhcpConnForceBroadcastFlag 0

But still no go!

Customer then decides to give up, wipe the laptop, and install XP instead (and I don’t blame him).
