ipconfig /release is not working, why is that?
here is a sequence where I put my cable in get an IP, try ipconfig /release and it tells me it can't release wireless, but there is no wireless connection. i'm just trying to release the wired one.
C:\>ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection:
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
Fine so I plug my cable in
C:\>ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection:
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
C:\>ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection:
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Fine so from above, it clearly has an iP
C:\>ipconfig /release

No operation can be performed on Wireless Network Connection while it has its me
dia disconnected.
