Refresh your IP address (MS Windows)
There is a tool which comes with Windows which will allow you to refresh your current IP
Address. For Windows 95/98/98se/ME, click Start > Run, enter winipcfg and click OK. Select
the correct Network Adaptor, click release all to release all current configuration first, then click
renew all to renew the IP information again.
For Windows NT4.0/2000/XP, run ipconfig.exe in DOS mode. (ipconfig.exe/? to list all
parameters). Run ipconfig /release and then run ipconfig /renew.
IP address conflict
When you see the message box advising of an IP address conflict on any of the workstations
in the network, this means two or more workstations have the same IP address. If you have
setup the device as a DHCP server, on the problem workstation, please run the "winipcfg"
utility, select the correct Network Adapter, click release all to release all current configuration
first, then click renew all to renew the IP information again (for Windows 2000/NT4.0/XP, run
ipconfig/release and then run ipconfig /renew). If the DHCP function is disabled and static IP
addresses are assigned to each workstation, please double check each workstation's IP address
for any duplicate IP.
