refresh IP from dhcp isp

[Lai Zit Seng]

Hi,

Basically when you down and up a DHCP configured interface, your system 
will have to request lease from the DHCP server again. Usually the DHCP 
server will give you back what you last had (or what you asked for) if the 
IP is available. So it is not unusual that your IP does not change.

Or do you purposely want your IP address to change for some reason?

Regards,
