I'm not sure what you mean by release the lease. I have AT&T, and when they first hook you up, their ISP gets your computers MAC and will only allow that MAC to talk to the ISP. So, If I switch computers, I have to get ahold of them so they can get it from my new machine. If you have a router, you copy the MAC (called MAC cloning) to the router, and then you can have any machine use the ISP through the router.
