When I try to release IPConfig by using ipconfig/release I receive this
message: The requested operation require elevation. How can I resolve this
issue and what is elevation? I am using Windows Vista Ultimate.

Open your command prompt window as an administrator (right click on the
icon and select the run as administrator option) would be my guess.

Right click cmd.exe and select Run as Administrator

Click on the Start Orb and type "cmd" without the quotes into the Search
box. Now right-click on the result and choose "run elevated". The exact
terminology may be different; I'm not on Vista right now.

You will then be able to do ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew. Note
that there is a space between "ipconfig" and "/release".

For more information about running elevated, type that term into Help.
