I've seen this, but can't seem to find it. In one of the Icons in the Control Panel I believe you can see IP info, do release and renew, etc; and it's not through the "cmd" in the Run menu. Anyone aware of this?
Thanks, BuddyB

Hello,
I seem to remember a graphical client to reset/renew the network interfaces, but I am pretty sure it wasn't a control panel.
Closest thing you might have to do to get this type of functionality is write some small batch files and attach them to icons.

on NT and Windows 98 you could use "wntipcfg " in the run command for a graphical interface. But in XP you can
Go to Control Panel / Network Connections / Double click the icon for your network
Click on the Support tab
Click on the Details button
You can use the repair which I believe does a release and renew

You're absolutely correct about this. Thanks for the heads-up.
