ok my real problem is that my IP will not renew when I ask it to. I used WNTIPCFG and also tried EZ-DHCP and even Multi Network Manager 7.1, but still it stays the same upon release/renew. why ?

the WNTIPCFG indicates a 24 hour lease time on the IP number which would seem standard for most IP numbers, but even after I wait until the lease expires it still will not change.
