Gateway address showing 0.0.0.0
I am facing a problem with vista sp1 that the dhcp address obtained in some of the vista clients from a win2003 dhcp server is having a gateway 0.0.0.0. This will prevent the vista from accessing the internet. i manually removed the route 0.0.0.0 and added my gateway address it is working fine. It happens only with some machines.
