The issue is caused by a lack of a correct association on the SonicWALL
between the computer running Windows Vista and its assigned IP address.
Follow these steps to work around the issue by editing the System Registry:

Click the Start button.
Select All Programs > Accessories.
Right click (Command Prompt) then click (Run as administrator).
Type regedit.exe and press enter.
Go to the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
Right click this entry and click (New) then click (Dword).
Rename the new entry ArpRetryCount (leave it set to 0 by default).
Restart the computer.
Retry connecting to network. You should notice a successful connection.
