Renewing IP Address on Mac OS X
When a ResNet user''s IP address is not showing as a
134.114.x.x address (in the Network preferences control panel), it may be
"stuck" on a 10.2.x.x address after registration, or on a 192.168.x.x address
after a rogue DHCP server has been brought up and then taken down. In
previous OS versions, restarting the Mac would usually renew the IP address, but
in Mac OS X this is not the case.
To "manually" renew the IP, change the Configure:
drop-down of the Network preferences TCP/IP window from Using DHCP to
Manually. Click the Apply button and close the Network
preferences window.
Open the Network preferences window again, and change the
Configure: drop-down back to Using DHCP. Click the Apply
button again, and if all goes well, the IP address will change to a valid
134.114.x.x address.
