(still) cannot ipconfig renew after moving to diff. network

[bugpowder]

I will try to /release before disconnectiong tonight 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 not appear to be any successful
communication with a DHCP server.

You may want to try ipconfig /release before you unplug from the first
network. That should allow you to grab a new DHCP. I am thinking that when
you are trying to renew, your machine is requesting an invalid IP from the
hotel DHCP server. By releasing ahead of time, you should be asking for any
available IP instead of your last IP...

Is anyone else on that network having problems with that DHCP server? Are
there available addresses in the scope?
