Renewing Your PC’s IP Address
Occsionally, your PC may fail to renew its IP address, which will keep it from
connecting to your Cable Internet Service Provider. When this happens, you
will not be able to access the Internet through your Cable Modem. This is fair-
ly normal, and does not indicate a problem with your hardware. The procedure
to correct this situation is simple. Follow these steps to renew your PC’s IP
address:
For Windows 95, 98, or Millennium users:
1.From your Windows 95, 98, or Millennium desktop, click the Start button,
point to Run, and click to open the Run window.
2. Enter winipcfg in the Open field. Click the OK button to execute the pro-
gram. The next window to appear will be the IP Configuration window.
3.Select the Ethernet adapter to show the IP address. Press Release and then
press Renew to get a new IP address from your ISP's server.
4. Select the OK to close the IP Configuration window. Try your Internet con-
nection again after this process.
