ipconfig issues? Someone explain how to make this work
I can never get internet at a new place unless I restart my computer. This takes a minute and I really don't have the patience.
I've heard you can do something in ipconfig /release and /renew, so I messed around for a while, but it still doesn't work. Does anyone know how ipconfig works? What do I need to type in exactly in the cmd window?

The computer thread probably would.
But do you have dhcp enabled? |

You don't have patience for a minute, yet you spend the time asking a guitar forum for computer advice?

Obviously, he's hoping for a permanent solution so he doesn't have to restart every time he wants internet access. |

In Windows 7 and Windows Vista, you must run command prompt as an administrator in order for those commands to work.
Also, keep in mind that sometimes the only way for a device to assign or receive an IP is to be restarted.

ipconfig /renew and ipconfig /releasedns
Also, send me a screenshot of your network adapters. I've had this problem before, and it turns out there was a conflict with either the VMware virtual adapter or the Cisco VPN adapter. |

^ thanks guys, I think I just needed to run cmd prompt as administrator... also i was using ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew instead of ipconfig /renew and ipconfig /releasedns... i don't know what the difference is but i should be able to work it out now.
Thanks!
