run 'netconfig' as root.

netconfig -d eth0

WOW thanks, how would i renew?

do a '/sbin/service network restart'

or

a /sbin/ifdown eth0;/sbin/ifup eth0

if u are asking how to get a new IP address - that depends on the setup of your DHCP server. Eache client (or NIC via MAC address) is given a lease for their IP usage. Until that lease expires, u won't be able to renew.

i think pump is still with RHL 7.2, check its man page. It might give u some tips.
