What is the purpose of the ipconfig /release command?

The ipconfig /release command forces a client to give up its current IP address.

The IP Release command releases the "hold" of any IP address configuration data it has received from the DHCP server and allows that IP Address to be re-assigned to another network adapter.

After issuing a release command, your network adapter will no longer have a valid configuration and will not be able to connect to the network unless you use the command ipconfig /renew or you restart the adapter/computer.
