Hello.
I have been looking for information on how to release the current lease of
IP-adress.
What should I di, where should I start, if I want to release the IP-adress?

It's a little vague, but, if you are using dhclient to get an ip from a
dhcp server and want to change your ip address, the short answer is: you
can't. But, if the dhcp server was configured according some "best
practices", the lease time you be one day or so. So, if you stay one day
with the machine offline, you'll probably get a new ip the next time you
turn it on. Another option is to change the interface mac address, but
this must be done every time you boot the machine, which is a pain in
the ass.
Now, if you are the dhpd server and want to release an ip address, i
always find it more easy to:
1) stop the dhcpd server
2) edit the file /var/db/dhcpd.leases and manually remove the entries
corresponding to the desired ip address.
3) start the dhcpd server again.
Keep in mind the next time you answer something on the list to be more
specific and descriptive.
My regards,
