hmm, well Google is a very powerful search tool that should help you find this software... but other than that... I'm not sure how to help... Are you certain that there is a problem re-newing your IP address?? I used to run a Win 98 box and I could get a new IP just by running the prog "winipcfg" Then hitting the release, and renew buttons. Try updating your system and then renewing your IP, it might make a difference... I'm sure someone else will post a better answer soon, till then, I hope this helps
