How do I "renew your IP address" to repair my wireless network connection?

Hello Dennis

There could be a possible reason that network device and or device driver is not working properly

What you can try is uninstall the device from device manager and re install the same . and would be better if you get updated driver from vendors support website

waiting for some good news from you

Best of Luck

Hello Sohail,

My name is Dennis. I have been having problems connecting to my wireless router lately on my windows xp. My laptop was connected just fine until suddenly the other day it would just not connect anymore when I tried to repair it would disable my wireless adapter, enable it and then try to change the IP address. It would then come up with a message saying that it was not able to complete the task of renewing the IP address. I took your steps and the command prompt gave me the following, I was hoping you could maybe help figure out whats wrong.

>ipconfig/release

Thanks robertjack for your queries at Microsoft community

well we need to know how long you are facing this problem have you  made any changes before

Diagnosis

Is any other system is connected to the same wireless network

have you tried using wired connection from router to your laptop

possible reason

1. could be DHCP client is not working properly in your laptop
2. wireless device driver
3. DHCP service in your wireless router

what you can do is

1. Restart your router
2. Reinstall Wlan device driver

If not fixed try

3 . Start>Run>Type "services.msc" Enter......Find in   DHCP Client (restart and make it automatic start if not)

This is what the pop up window said----- "windows could not finish repairing the problem because the folowing action cannot be completed - RENEWING your IP ADDRESS" 

Can someone help me to renew my IP so my wireless will work again on a long time laptop.

There are two types of ip address we are using

1. Static ip address
2. Dyamic ip address

If you have dynamic IP, then change your IP address by following the steps:-

1)Go to Start->Run->Cmd->Press Enter..

Type in "ipconfig/release" for Current IP address and then type "ipconfig/renew" for New IP address.

2)Either follow step 1 or Simply restart or unplug your modem/router .

Doing either step 1 or 2 will change your Dynamic IP address. Visit Ip-details.com to check your IP address is changed or not.
