re: Can't renew IP address Monday, May 27, 2002 at 5:44 pm Posted by Siggy (17 messages posted) winipcfg for Windows XP: Instead of using the command line to display/configure your ip with ipconfig, you can download wntipcfg from microsoft which will give you the same GUI to display / configure your ip as winipcfg. once you download it and install it (the default is c:\program files\resource kit\ ) copy wntipcfg.exe to c:\windows and rename it to winipcfg.exe Now you can just click on run, then you type in "winipcfg" just like the good old days On Monday, May 27, 2002 at 4:57 pm, Petey wrote: >When I "repair" my TCP/IP in the LAN connections box (double clicking on the LAN >icon in the systray) I get a message "the following steps of the repair operation >failed: Renewing the IP address". > >Is there another way to renew the IP.

Then Under fixing networking or web problems / Diagnose networking problems and run automated tests. Choose the Scan system option. This will diagnose all parts of the connection process, do a release/renew and flush the DNS cache---hopefully helping pinpoint the problem. If a renew does not work, it usually signifies the inabilibility to reach the DHCP server 9On your router or at the ISP usually.

Anyway most of what you want to do is available from the command prompt . "ipconfig /all" "ipconfig /release" "ipconfig /renew" are the popular commands.

The router isn't releasing your MAC address. Solution: Turn off all computers, router/AP and DSL modem (if applicable). Next turn on the router/AP wait until diags are done. Next turn on DSL modem, wait for solid link light. Next press and hold the rest button on your router/AP until the default setting are restored. Then turn on your computers. These steps are more clearly spelled out in the Linksys DSL/Router owners manual. This solution, although not written as a solution; it was written as a setup step, worked like a charm for me.

Had same symptoms: just removed malware, machine worked for about a week, then found more malware, couldn't renew IP. It would release, but renew failed before timeout. Removed all traces of malware, ran sfc.exe, installed this fix. Disco. Thank you for posting this, if I hadn't seen it I would have ended up reinstalling.

Although, XP has your passphrase / WEP key stored, you assume that's not the problem when it's trying to renew your IP address. But if you just reenter it and verify it. Boom! Back up and running. XP seems to forget to ask for this reauthorization.
