If the IP address is assigned by DHCP server on the network, there are chances you might have
to release the IP and acquire it from DHCP server again. Here is how you do it.
Type command, “ipconfig /renew ” in the command prompt window and press Enter. 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 192.168.1.3. 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.
