Program that automatically does ipconfig/release and then ipconfig/renew on a timer
To create a program that automatically performs ipconfig /release
and ipconfig /renew
on a timer, you can use a combination of batch scripting and the Windows Task Scheduler. Here's how you can do it:
- Create a new batch script file with the following content:
batch@echo off
ipconfig /release
timeout 5
ipconfig /renew
Save this file with a .bat
extension, for example, renew_ip.bat
. This script will release the IP address, wait for 5 seconds, and then renew the IP address.
Open the Windows Task Scheduler by searching for "Task Scheduler" in the Start menu.
Click on "Create Basic Task" in the right-hand pane.
Give your task a name and click "Next".
Select the trigger that suits your needs. For example, you can choose "Daily" to run the task every day at a specific time. Click "Next" to continue.
Choose "Start a program" as the action and click "Next".
Browse to the location of the batch script you created (
renew_ip.bat
), select it, and click "Next".Review the task summary and click "Finish" to create the task.
Now, the Windows Task Scheduler will run your batch script at the specified interval, automatically performing ipconfig /release
and ipconfig /renew
.
Note: Keep in mind that running ipconfig /release
and ipconfig /renew
may disrupt network connectivity, so use this script with caution. It's recommended to test it first to ensure it works as expected in your environment.
