Running ipconfig on my machine (behind a router) only allows the commands
Code:
waitall, getifaddr, ifcount, getoption, getpacket, set
and refuses anything with a "/" which seems logical to me, isn't that part of a path not a command ?
All the release/renew help I've ever seen says that the analogous procedure on a Mac is something along
these lines
Quote:
# Macintosh OS X (through 10.2.8): Click on the Network Control Panel from within System Preferences. Making sure that the TCP/IP tab is selected, enter any number into the DHCP Client ID box. Press the "Apply Now" button. That will force it to search for a new IP address.
# Macintosh OS X (10.3 Panther and later): Click on the Network Control Panel from within System Preferences. Click the "Renew My DHCP Lease" button, and your computer will release and renew its IP address immediately.

I have no idea whether you wouldn't just get back the same IP your ISP had assigned you but if you can, this seems to be a sensible way.
HTH
