Hi there,
I was facing the same problem while trying to connect a Vista / Wi-Fi PC to my Linksys Router WRT54GS. I found a solution in this forum :

It is referenced by Microsoft in :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233/en-us
The problem is the BROADCAST flag in DHCP discovery packets different in Vista vs. XP SP2.
And for me the solution was to set the following registry entry as follows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{GUID}
Value name: DhcpConnForceBroadcastFlag
Value type: REG_DWORD
Value data: 0
Then I had to manually remove the PCI Wi-Fi card (Linksys WMT54G) from the computer. At this point I only had a Local connection without internet acces. Then I had to shut-down and restart it to get full internet access.
Nothing to do with what said Mr. Bowman [MS Windows-MVP] in another forum : namely switching from Wireless Default Channel 6 to channel 1 or 11 (to avoid overlapping ... of what ?).
I hope this will help your connection pb.
