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.
