cmd prompt
 

Anybody remember the cmd prompts for acquiring a new ip address? I remember CS helping me do this when connecting a new router.

Re: cmd prompt
 

ipconfig /release

then

ipconfig /renew

Re: cmd prompt
 

ipconfig /renew

although I have never done this, I am not sure what happens.

although you could put in ipconfig /? to get help from the command prompt

ik

EDIT: beaten to it

Or you can do it the normal Windows (XP) GUI via Network Connections in Control Panel.

Disabling and re-enabling the connection will do it or hitting the repair button within the properties of the connection.

Dont forget, there are others too.. ie if you have a corrupted Resolver cache..

ipconfig /flushdns
