You should just be able to turn off your computer, which automatically releases the DHCP address. However, if your local cable company is using DHCP tied to Ethernet MAC addresses (that's MAC as in "media access control", not Macintosh), you may need to contact them to "release" it and pick up the MAC on your new computer.
