*HELP!!!!!**Why do I need to renew my IP address every time I start my computer before I can get internet access?
I have a very weird problem that I have been dealing with for sometime now. When I start or wake my Windows 10 machine I immediately have access to the internet. I found out that the only way to get it back is running command ipconfig /renew and /release to reset the default ip address. However I need to go through this every time I start my machine and its quite annoying. Does anybody know why and more importantly how to fix my this permanently? Thanks!!!

IP Address Renew

Hello,

Just recently my computer stopped automatically renewing my IP address. Every time I try to access a different router, I have to release and renew my IP address manually. I am wondering if there is any way I can fix this. I checked the properties on my
wireless adapter, but it is already set to obtain the IP address automatically.

 

Side effects of releasing/renewing IP addresses?


There is a fairly well know security package that is causing some users problems on Win 10 AU - browser connections get blocked. (Other TCP/IP connectivity is unaffected - just browsers.) A user of the product found that releasing and renewing DHCP-provided IP address - i.e., doing "ipconfig /release" followed by ipconfig /renew"" temporarily fixes the problem. Can someone explain to me what doing a release/renew does to Windows such that a program - even a program with deeply embedded hooks - would even know this has happened.

Obviously the computer will get a new IP address from DHCP. (Which, for many DHCP servers, will likely be the same as the old one.) If it gets a new address, will this make Windows switch it's network profile from "Private" to "Guest or Public"? (I know the security package will see that.)

And a few more questions relating to /release and /renew but unrelated to the problem:
I see there are IPv6 versions of /release and /renew. Does that mean that /release and /renew apply to only IPv4 addresses, or do those commands apply to both IPv4 and IPv6? If only IPv4, is there a way to release and renew all addresses? The DHCP server supplied a list of DNS servers as part of the DHCP handshake. Does the release and renew process also renew the list of DNS servers? If so, is there the same division of IPv4 and IPv6?

 

Need to reset/renew my IP address

• Click Start->Run, type cmd and press Enter.
• Type ipconfig /release at the prompt window, press Enter, it will release the current IP configuration.
• Type ipconfig /renew at the prompt window, press Enter, wait for a while, the DHCP server will assign a new IP address for your computer.
