To resolve this issue, disable the DHCP BROADCAST flag in Windows Vista. To do this, follow these steps:

1.Click On the Start button, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit in the Programs list. 2.Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

\Interfaces\{GUID} In this registry path, click the (GUID) subkey that corresponds to the network adapter that is connected to the network. 3.On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value. 4.In the New Value #1 box, type DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle, and then press ENTER. 5.Right-click DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle, and then click Modify. 6.In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK. 7.Close Registry Editor.

 

NOTE: You should do this for each and every GUID subkey. NOTE2: (GUID) is a mnemonic for the individual subkeys, the actual text “GUID” does not appaer.

This iso file , enables you to boot off the Windows XP Bootable floppy disks and run the Windows 2000 Registry Repair Tool , created with the help of Jayroo’s Instructions Below ( This is usually brought about by the system crashing or pulling the power early on the system before it has had time to properly shut-down )
