It does? What does http://1.2.3.4 do?

Don't tell me that when I enter something preceded by http:// it attempts to connect to that IP using the default port (80) for that protocol (http).

ipconfig /renew

ipconfig /release

the two commands you are looking for.

if you are trying to access your router/gateway....chances are the right location is http://192.168.1.1
