Renew IP from DHCP

Hi,

how can I renew my IP address of my linux PC from the DHCP server? I know I
can do a ifconfig eth0 down (and up) but that way I don't get any
messages. I have the problem that sometimes my Linux PC doesn't get an IP
from my DHCP server (build in in router). I would like to see some error
message when trying to get the IP. Something like the windows
ipconfig /renew.

Thanks!
