ipconfig...posted just in case I screwed something up - Hanabira.Kage - 2011-03-03

In an attempt to get Grandchase to patch, I decided to try mucking around with ipconfig.
Since a GM on the Grandchase forums said that the root of the problem was my ISP, I decided to try using ipconfig to change my IP address.
So here's what I did...
ipconfig/flushdns
ipconfig/release
When I tried doing ipconfig/renew, I get this error message saying that the command can't be executed due to the media drivers being in use or something like that, followed by a very long list of media drivers as though I had typed ipconfig/all. What's worrying is that all the drivers are disconnected.
I'm just posting this just in case; did I pineapple something up? Yes, I can still access the internet, but I'm afraid I might have pineappleed something up; just a gut feeling (I hope I'm wrong though).

Ipconfig can't really do anything, the only thing it does it "renew" your IP-adress when it's connected to a DHCP server (most common with ISP's).
Actually it does near the same thing as pulling out the network cable for 5 minutes, and put it back in.
Btw, most of the time it won't change your IP adress, because the DHCP server has a "lease" time that's bound to your network card's MAC adress. Only if you disconnect your network card cable long enough (24 hours+) you -could- get a new IP. But lease times can also be set at a duration of 1 week, so it doesn't always work like that.
Also, you IP adress has nothing to do with being able to patch or not... I don't know this game, but I think there is something else going wrong. Can't you just re-download it as a whole?
So, don't worry, nothing really happened with your internet!

Try looking up apps that will change your network card/interface MAC address or use a separate network card to connect to the internet. If you are able to do that you should get a different IP from your ISP.

You should be fine. Most of the time it reconnects everything when you restart. If it does not reconnect manually when you reset the router or restart, then you have a problem. That's most likely a damaged motherboard/wireless card. However, you're already connected to the internet still, so you're fine. You can type ipconfig/release again and try restarting your pc. Then you should be able to use ipconfig/renew again if you have trouble using that command.
