On a Linux box, just run dhcpc eth0, and it should renew itself. If you running Windows (shudder), Start->run-> winipcfg, and hit "release all", then "renew". Or something like that, this is off the top of my head. > Also, how do I get a Linux machine to be a DHCP server? apt-get install dhcp, then change /etc/dhcpd.conf to match your network.
