    I was wondering whether anybody tried to follow this guide: Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or from certain non-Microsoft DHCP servers

    The guide is for Vista users and not Win7, because in Win 7, "The registry key DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle is set to 1 by default." However, I went to regedit and found that that particular key does not even exist, so I created it and set it to 1. Right now all is going well, I'm hoping to see a permanent positive result.

    Will keep you posted.

    Guys

    Ok if you are not using "homegroup" and are experiencing random drops, diabling IP-6 may help. Its in network and sharing.

    If you need help with this let us know

    Well I've disabled IPV6 ever since the problem occurred!

    Well now it's working fine but I always run into the problem again when I restart/standby. It doesn't always go to limited connection, but once it does, it takes one hell of a time to work again.

    Will let you know how things go for the next few days.

    It happened again. Once my connection is established it works fine for quite a while. But at some point if i standby or something it turn into a "Limited Connection" and I receive no IP address, and that's when I get stuck for hours trying to turn it on again.

    What's going on with Win 7? Why is this happening? It's been like this for weeks!

    Unfortunately my solution has not fixed the problem. It definitely works a lot better, but I still get the disconnect sometimes. One thing I've noticed though, is that when I use my wireless mouse... it will stop working and so will my wireless device, so it seems my usb ports stop working since that's how they're both connected.

    Literally just joined so I can share that I have the very same problem and have been looking everywhere for a solution. I've tried all that posted here as I've been watching this thread over the last few days. Disabled HomeGroup, disabled IPv6, added the registry key, still nothing.

    And like Mboose, I've noticed that whenever this happens, some of my USB devices stop working, too. Namely external harddrives and USB mouse. These problems never happen separately, only together. They didn't happen on the old version of Vista Home Premium I had installed and they don't happen with any other operating systems, only W7 64-bit. I'm really scratching my head over this one. I wonder if the USB problem happens for others, too?

    Well not me, my usb ports seem to work fine even when the problem occurs. Exactly how often and in what circumstances does your connection go into Limited? If you manage to connect, does it go into limited connectivity after a short while or only when you try to connect first-time?
