Hi guys,
Can anyone tell me what to put in the command screen tp do an "ip release" and "ip renew"
I know you type "ipconfig" to get the network details but am always unsure what to type for the release and renew.
I have been told a few times but I keep forgetting so if you can help me, I will write it down LOL.
Thanks,
Shaun:cool:
Hi.. In the command prompt type:
IPCONFIG /all Display full configuration information.
IPCONFIG /release [adapter]
Release the IP address for the specified adapter.
IPCONFIG /renew [adapter]
Renew the IP address for the specified adapter.
IPCONFIG /flushdns Purge the DNS Resolver cache. ##
IPCONFIG /registerdns Refresh all DHCP leases and re-register DNS names. ##
IPCONFIG /displaydns Display the contents of the DNS Resolver Cache. ##
IPCONFIG /showclassid adapter
Display all the DHCP class IDs allowed for adapter. ##
IPCONFIG /setclassid adapter [classid]
Modify the dhcp class id. ##
## = New option in Win 2K/XPIf the Adapter name contains spaces, use quotes: "Adapter Name"
wildcard characters * and ? allowed, see the examples below
The default is to display only the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway for each adapter bound to TCP/IP.
For Release and Renew, if no adapter name is specified, then the IP address leases for all adapters bound to TCP/IP will be released or renewed.
For Setclassid, if no ClassId is specified, then the ClassId is removed.
Examples:
> ipconfig ... Show information.
> ipconfig /all ... Show detailed information
> ipconfig /renew ... renew all adapters
> ipconfig /renew EL* ... renew any connection that has its
name starting with EL
> ipconfig /release *Con* ... release all matching connections,
eg. "Local Area Connection 1" or
"Local Area Connection 2"
> ipconfig /setclassid "Local Area Connection" TEST
... set the DHCP class ID for the
named adapter to = TEST
