I tried that. After releasing, I waited about a minute before renewing. I got the same IP address that I had before. On the other hand, by connecting directly from my PC to the modem -- bypassing the router -- I was able to get a new IP address by releasing and renewing. The direct connection from PC to modem is what Road Runner recommends. In my setup, I think the external IP address is controlled by the cable modem and not the router. I'm guessing that the release and renew operations do not get past the router to the modem. The setup is: 2 PCs running Windows XP, each connected to the same router cable/DSL Internet router with 4 LAN ports (only 2 being used) and built-in firewall, Netgear RP614 v.4, connected to the modem Motorola SURFboard SB5100 cable modem, connected via Time Warner Cable to Road Runner -- David E.
