IP release

[sanders]

I am attempting to configure broadband on my system.
When attempting to release the IP using ipconfig /release
I receive the message: All adapters bound to DHCP do not
have DHCP addresses. The addresses were automatically
configured and cannot be released.
How can I release them to configure?

In the Network control panel, Local Area Connection Properties,
TCP/IP Properties, is the "Obtain an IP address automatically" checked?

If so, then bring up a command prompt and enter the command:
ipconfig /all
Does your connection show up with an IP address other than 169.*.*.* or
0.0.0.0?

HTH,

This indicates that your client PC has been configured
with a static IP and is not configured as a DHCP Client.

Edit the TCP/IP properties of your NIC and change it to
automatically obtain an IP-address by selecting that radio
button in the properties window.
