Mac OS X: How To Force a DHCP Lease Renewal
<http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21114?viewlocale=en_US>
Yuck.

I suppose I could write a bash shell script for OS/X to do something
like that. The problem is that I'm a lousy programmist and don't know
how to detect if the cable is plugged/unplugged. Running:
ifconfig eth0
shows UP and DOWN, but does not indicate if anything is unplugged.
Also running:
ipconfig set eth0 dhcp
doesn't seem to force a DHCP release and renewal. Oh well. Another
project I don't need (or have time to do).


Should the interface not be en0 ?
I should keep my bookmarks the same for all systems.

sudo ipconfig set en0 DHCP

From:- http://www.macwindows.com/MacOSX.html

I think the wireless interface is probably en1 .
