I use to have the same problem as you did before i did a clean install of Vista. Basically that error message is just telling you that your bluetooth is not connected when you are attempting to release then renew your ip. Try ipconfig /all and find the nic card details, then try to release the ip again. I think in "vista" when we perform an ip release it does it for every component such as nic, wireless and also bluetooth.

thanks...I guess what I need is the syntax to just do a release on the ethernet connection.

ipconfig / release XXXXXX where XXXXXX is the correct syntax to identify the ethernet connection.

This is the syntax:

Examples

To display the basic TCP/IP configuration for all adapters, type:

ipconfig

To display the full TCP/IP configuration for all adapters, type:

ipconfig /all

To renew a DHCP-assigned IP address configuration for only the Local Area Connection adapter, type:

ipconfig /renew "Local Area Connection"

To flush the DNS resolver cache when troubleshooting DNS name resolution problems, type:

ipconfig /flushdns

To display the DHCP class ID for all adapters with names that start with Local, type:

ipconfig /showclassid Local*

To set the DHCP class ID for the Local Area Connection adapter to TEST, type:

ipconfig /setclassid "Local Area Connection" TEST
