How to fix network security issues on your Windows Vista-based PC

Here are the steps for quickly fixing network security issues:

1. First we have to search the name of the network adapter that you are using to connect, you can skip this if you already know the name of  network adapter.
1. Open the Network and Sharing Center (Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center)
2. Click on “Manage network connections” under “Tasks” on left side.
3. Note the name of  device in “Device Name” column for the connection that you are using (e.g. Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection)
2. Now find the GUID of this adapter.
1. Open the registry editor: Start > type in 'regedit’
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkCards\
3. Look through the numbered sub-keys and write down the “ServiceName” for the one that has the name of your network card in the “Description.”
4. Keep the registry editor open because we will be changing another key in the next step.
3. Once you have the GUID of the network then we have to toggle the broadcast flags.
1. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces
2. Make sure to set the DhcpConnForceBroadcastFlag as described in the “More Information” section of the knowledge base article.
4. Finally, restart your computer.
