You need to load cmd with elevated privileges. Right click on the executable, and click run as administrator.

This will run an elevated command prompt and let you do what you need to do.

This is due to UAC (User Access/Account Control) On Windows Vista / 7.
Click start, then in search (instead of run) type cmd. You should see either cmd or command prompt come up in the search results above. Right click on it and click on "Run as Administrator" then click yes on the allow box, and you should be able to do what you want.
However, if you are just doing
ipconfig /renew
and the lease has not expired, it is highly likely that you will get the same IP.
Even if it has expired, unless someone else has it, it is likely you will get it.

right, let us 'renew' the IP address then :) – None – 2009-08-29T22:16:09.227
2Personally I think you will get much better assistance by calling your service provider. This question is becoming extremely hard to maintain. Also adding further information distracts from the original question and invalidates any answers already made. – BinaryMisfit – 2009-08-29T22:36:31.557
