  1. ipconfig /all gives you your ip address details

    ipconfig /release drops your config - in a dhcp environment

    ipconfig /renew does exactly that - in a dhcp environment


  2. Type (without quotes) "ipconfig /?" to see a list of everything it can do.  Some useful ones:

    ipconfig /all

    Show information about all the network connections

    ipconfig /release [adapter]

    Release the IP address for [adapter]

    e.g. ipconfig /release "Local Area Connection 1"

    ipconfig /renew [adapter]

    Renew the IP address for [adapter]

    e.g. ipconfig /renew "Local Area Connection 1"

    ipconfig /flushdns

    Empty (flush) the DNS resolver cache

    ipconfig /displaydns

    Display entries in the DNS resolver cache
