I will try to /release before disconnectiong as
instructed, but this had already occurred to me. After
already on the new network and trying to /renew, I tried
a /release but the return msg was that the adapter was
already released. I also noticed that in the Local Area
Connections details, only 1 packet had been sent and 0
received (despite multiple /renew commands which all
hang), so there does appear to be any successful
communication with a DHCP server.
