I found out that ipconfig usage is not as expected for the DOS client. "Ipconfig /all" is meaningless. In my case, the one and only good command is "ipconfig c:\net."
This then reports (now again under DHCP), an IP address, gateway, and DNS server as expected. But it reports "Lease Expired." Even after I forced the router to give it a brand new lease on a different IP, it still reports the lease expired. The router shows the lease as freshly issued with a day to live. The date and time are correct on client and server. Ideas? (And no, "ipconfig /release" or "ipconfig /renew" won't work either. They too are meaningless.)
