Is your Domain Controller also a DHCP server? And DNS?<br />
<br />
Is it a Small Business Server?<br />
<br />
Run IPCONFIG /ALL and post tge results from your Domain Controller and the Vista machine.<br />
<br />
I suspect it isnt getting the correct IP address information.<br />
Also if your DC/DNS is Windows 2003 disable IPv6 on the Vista machine as per: <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929852" rel="ugc">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929852</a><br />
<br />
use the 0xffffffff option.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
