Networking :: What's about a DHCP-Release?

Hi all,

i got a problem, using dhcp with dsl.
I've to release my ip-address. where can i find informations about this and which command have i use to?
I've read a lot about this but i didn't find the right command for this.
Thank's for your help.

Normally, it's the server side that you want to do the release so it can reassign the IP when you renew. Otherwise, I guess you could do ifdown eth0 then ifup eth0 (or whatever your NIC's name is) then you may need to pump -i

Also, in X you can shut down DHCP from the DSL panel by clicking the DHCP button.

Thank's an lot.
I've tried it in our network and it works.
