How do you DHCP Release & Renew in Jaguar?

How do you DHCP Release & Renew in Jaguar? I know in Windows 2K & XP you can open up the command prompt and type "ipconfig /release" followed by "ipconfig /renew" and get assigned a new IP address from the DHCP server on your local network .. but how do you do this in Jaguar? I thought you could accomplish the task by calling "ifconfig -d <ethernet interface>" followed by "ifconfig -u <ethernet interface>" but this doesn't work. anyone know how to do this ...

You can do it from the Network preference panel. Select the interface, set to Manual, apply now, set to DHCP, apply now.
