Lost TCP/IP number after wake-up

Hi,

Lately when my mac wakes up from sleep. It has lost its IP number. It's given by the dhcp server of the local internet provider (Cable).

Is there a way to force the dhcp to renew my IP number. On windows you can do ipconfig/renew. Is there a simular statement in unix?

Cheers

Tom
 
I've had a similar problem with my ibook. I'm on an internal network using airport though. It will lose track of my router and give me one of those "I have to assign myself an IP address" addresses... airport can still see the router, but it doesnt seem to get an IP from it. Sometimes it fixes itself... sometimes I have to restart... and sometimes that doesn't even work and I give up, shut down, and go use the desktop...
A solution to this would be wonderful.
