Re: Getting new IP from DHCP?!?
You must live in a very busy(in the broadband sense) area, where any IP's that are released are snapped up straight away.

OS shouldn't make a difference(but for some reason it seem to in your case).

The best way of changing an IP address on cable broadband is by changing the MAC address of the network card that your using, this would then have the side effect of making you switch your cable modem of and on again to make it accept the new mac address.
