The bootleg way around it is to use location manager to make a dialup config
since OS 9 isn't multihoming. Then you can switch to the dial up and back to
the DHCP which should relinquish the IP. Or you could just install OS X
since it is just way better for laptop use in my opinion (ifconfig en0 down,
up)
