Need a WINICONGIG replacement (IP Renewer)

[Josef]

Running Winxp SP2, and when I stop the internet activity with ZA, it
will not Renew the IP for me, and Winiconfig don't work.

Need a little help and if I'm lucky a Link to MS or someplace for a program
to do it.

Thanks a lot people, I'd appreciate it.

Open Control Panel - Network Connections.
Right-click on the icon for your connection and select Repair.

Or select Status instead of Repair, then go to the Support tab and
click on the Repair button. Then you will see what the result is.

p.s. there is no Winiconfig component in Windows XP, or any other
version of Windows that I am aware of. There is a winipcfg utility in
Windows 95/98/Me which is what I presume you are referring to; The
equivalent of that utility in Windows XP is named IPCONFIG and you
need to run it from the command line in a DOS window. Use Start - Run
- CMD and then enter IPCONFIG /? to see the full set of command line
options.

Good luck

Download and install WNTIPCFG.EXE from the Windows 2000 resource
kit. It will work in XP. It is similar to the winipcfg utility in
Win95/98/ME.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/wntipcfg-o.asp

The default is to install this application in C:\Program
Files\Resource Kit folder. You can also place a copy of the
program in C:\Windows. That way you can use Start -> Run ->
Wntipcfg to launch the program. If you want, you can create
shortcuts to the program so that it can be launched from the
start menu, quick launch or your desktop.

To simplify things (adding to Ron's advice), you could do this:

Start --> Run
cmd /k ipconfig /renew
Click OK

Or you could create a batch or cmd script (essentially a TEXT file with the
extension .bat or .cmd) with the following in it:

ipconfig /renew

Then double-click on it to renew your IP.
