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 98SE 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.
