It *should* receive a new address in a short time anyhow, as soon as you plug it into a network with a server broadcasting DHCP. However, this would just give it a kickstart, as soon as the network device comes 'up' it will receive the DHCP broadcast and say 'ya, I need an address and gateway and all that'.
