releasing ip automaticly

[tist]

I have two OS's on my pc, and one is WindowsXP.
Unfortunately WinXP doesn't release the ip adress at
shutdown. This makes dhcp impossible for the other OS. Is
there any way to change this behavior? Or is it possible to
run "ipconfig /release *" automaticly at shutdown?

thanks

Unfortunately the script returns the following error:

rule: 1
charachter: 1
error: unknown charachter
code: 800A0408
source: compilation error microsoft vbscript

the script contains has been copied as below written.

Make sure you're copying it correctly, with no extra characters.

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "ipconfig /release"

Also, you're reading this via a web based interface, you may want to just
type it in, rather than copy and paste.

now it works.
