that's a known Vista bug. Usually it's solved by reboot of the Vista PC or, disable/enable the interface. This is usually caused by sudden disappearance of the DHCP server (like network problem) and the Vista PC then refuses to renew the IP address no matter what. It stays in some "non working" state even after all is fine again. Microsoft claims it's because some different way it handles DHCP announcements now, and suggest changes in the Registry, which is not serious at all.

We could work on a workaround, but it's not done yet.

I think many router vendors face the same issue.
