IPCONFIG is one, and it is a part of Windows 2000-Win7. In the run box or the command console you would first do: Ipconfig /release Then you would do: Ipconfig /renew If you have Windows 95/98, the equivalent would be WINIPCFG, and it is in the form of a GUI, so you would click on the release or unbind button and then on the renew or bind button.
Ping is a useful TCP/IP utility to check network connectivity. Two other useful troubleshooting tools are Ipconfig (Windows 200/XP) and Winipcfg (Windows 9x/ME), which test TCP/IP configuration.
