title: Run "ipconfig/release" in Windows to do DHCP
body: <p>I am having a problem with starting my assignment because of a requirement that I can't pass through.</p>
  
  <p>We were instructed to perform <code>ipconfig/release</code> and <code>ipconfig/renew</code> in a Windows command line interface. I tried the first but it said that:</p>
  
  <pre><code>No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection while it has its media disconnected.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Our home has a WiFi and my computer is connected via a Wireless Network Connection. </p>
  
  <p>I found the tutorial "<a href="http://techmavin.blogspot.com/2010/10/ipconfig-release-all-operation-failed.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><em>" IPCONFIG / release all " The operation failed as no adapter is in the state permissible for this operation.</em></a>". I tried all the steps (even restarting my machine as per instruction) but the LAN disconnected alert is still persistent. I tried multiple "<code>netsh</code>" instructions online but my problem is still not stopping.</p>
  
  <p>I just want to do it in my WNC. Is it possible to do this with WAN?</p>
  
  <p>I tried <code>ipconfig/release "Name of my WAN"</code>, <code>ipconfig/release "Wireless Network Connection"</code> and <code>ipconfig/release "Home network"</code> but all three said:</p>
  
  <pre><code>The operation failed as no adapter is in the state permissible for this operation.
  </code></pre>
