What is the Macintosh equivalent of Windows ipconfig /release & renew?
There is no direct equivalent, but a couple of ways to proceed. We’ll describe just one here. For pre-OS X versions, you’ll need to use the TCP/IP Control Panel. For MacOS X you’ll need to get to the System Preferences Network Control Panel and TCP/IP tab. Once you’re at the correct Control Panel, you’ll need to change the Configure setting from “Using DHCP Server” or “Using DHCP” to “Manually” temporarily. (You may need to enter IP address information temporarily if you get a pop-up complaint.) After you make the changes, quit the Control Panel (saving when prompted), or for OS X, click the “Apply Now” button. Now just repeat the same steps, changing the Configure setting back to “Using DHCP Server” or “Using DHCP”.
