dhcp-client cleanup



How can I use dhclient (or another tool) to force the expiration/renewal of my current dhcp lease..? Windows 98' provides this functionality via winipcfg but I could not find anything similar mentioned in the dhclient man page. The objective is to start afresh from a "clean" environment.
