This command releases the current IP address and acquire it from the network, i.e.
DHCP server, once more.
In this case, the IP address that we acquired is the same as previous one, 192.
168.0.23. However, it's often that the acquired IP address of the network adapter
might would not be the same.
!Note: To renew IP under Windows 98 and Windows ME, you will have to go to the
Start menu > Run > type winipcfg and click "OK". The Windows IP Configuration
Menu window would appear, where you first click "release" button to release the
current IP address, followed by clicking of "Renew " to acquire a new IP address from
network.
If the above methods for IP renew fail, you will have to try and restart the computer,
which will reinitializes the network adapter settings during startup including renewing
IP address. If you still have problems getting an IP address after computer restarts,
you will have to consult with your MIS in your office or call computer and network
technicians.
