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

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.

I had a same problem, so i entered ip's manually, if you remember your previous ip enter the sam ip manually, if not check your dhcp look at the last given ip. Then give sth different than last given ip.

I did release and it worked, but when I do renew it can't because no media is connected to ethernet, or networks.
