How do I release and renew an IP address in WinXP?
One of the steps forward that WinXP took was to simplify the task of fixing broken network connections. A DHCP Release/Renew is part of what’s done by clicking the Repair button in the Local Area Connection Status window for your computer’s LAN connection. You get there via Start Settings Network Connections, then double clicking on either the Local Area Connection or Wireless Network Connection icon in the LAN or High-Speed Internet portion of the Network Connections window. Once the Status window opens, click on the Support tab, then click the Repair button. This button performs a number of other handy connection-repair tasks too, which are described in this http://support.microsoft.com/defau […] us;Q289256 Microsoft Support Bulletin.
Click Start > Run. Then type cmd in the box and press Enter.A command prompt window will appear. Type “ipconfig /release,” which dumps the automatic address it had, and then “ipconfig /renew,” which gets a new IP address.You can see Ip-details.com and confirm the change in IP.
