ip address will not auto release or renew

Static IPS do not release or renew under XP. Also, be certain you are assigning static IPs outside the DHCP scope of your router.
For problem machines running XP Service Pack 2:
Start, Run, CMD
netsh winsock reset
Wait for a prompt that a reset of your computer is required. Reboot.
For all other Windows versions:
Download and run WinsockFix:

Is DHCP enabled on the router, and are the hosts set to recieve IP address automatically? IP release/renew commands only apply to DHCP configurations.
