Vista Doesnt Get Internet but Server 2008s do?
So I configured a new server on the network, and I have client systems that plug directly into it (Has 2xQuad port intel vt nics). Each port has a DHCP Scope and whenever I plug a Server 2008 machine in one of those ports YAM internet and the works. Even a freshly installed workstation just get the internet without even trying Now Windows Vista systems get get internet? I checked the network settings and nothing is different on the Nic properties. Plugging a workstation in with vista nothing, i can unplug and plug a sever 2008 system in and it works Any ideas why this would happen? Yes firewall is disabled
