IP ADDRESS NEEDS TO BE RENEWED
If you cannot connect to the Internet even after you have checked all

the appropriate procedure in this section to manually obtain a new IP
address.
To obtain a new IP address (Windows 95 only)
1 Choose Start→Run.
2 Enter winipcfg in the Open field and click OK.
The IP Configuration window opens.
3 Select the network interface that has a default gateway of 192.168.1.1 from
the pull-down list.
4 Click Release All.
5 Force your computer to obtain a new IP address by clicking Renew All.
Wait until the fields in the IP Configuration window have values in them or an
error message appears. If you close this program before it has completed its
task, you will have to reboot your computer before you can use your Internet
service.
6 Close the IP Configuration window.
