    Is there a way to get a new IP setting, instead of having to diagnose the wireless and use that option there. (Without having to reset the router). Preferably a command in "RUN".

    What news poster said. Learn to love them when diagnosing network issues.
    Also "ipconfig /all" will display current settings.

    or, use a utility like netsetman and have that do the heavy lifting for you.
