ipcfg - interact with the Windows 95 winipcfg application

ipcfg [renew|release]

Command ipcfg executes the Windows 95 winipcfg.exe application and simulates keystrokes to either renew or release DHCP leases on all Windows Network Adapters.

The ipcfg release command may be used in the NAT32 startup file to release any Microsoft DHCP-assigned IP addresses. When the shell started in startup terminates, the ipcfg renew command should be used to renew leases on all Microsoft DHCP-configured Adpters. This can be done in file onexit.

This command is not required in NT. Instead, use the following commands:

exec ipconfig /release
exec ipconfig /renew

dhcp exec shell
