yep. from http://216.239.57.104/search?q=c…
OS X:
1. Launch the System Preferences applet from the Apple Menu
2. Click on the Network icon under the Internet and Network heading
3. Make sure your network card is selected in the Show box.
4. The IP information will be displayed below.
5. To refresh your DHCP settings, select the TCP/IP tab and select Manually from the Configure selection box. Type in the following information: for IP address put in 10.0.0.1 and for Subnet Mask enter 255.255.255.0 Click the Apply Now button.
6. Select Using DHCP from the Configure selection box and click Apply Now. The system should now attempt to get an IP address from our server.
For Advanced OS X users:
1. Launch the terminal application located on your Hard Drive:Applications:Utilities
2. Type sudo ifconfig en0 down
3. Enter your administrator password
4. Type sudo ifconfig en0 up
A note about "en0": en0 refers to one of the network interfaces on your system. In most cases, your built in Ethernet will be en0 and your airport card will be en1. So if you want to release and renew your DCHP information on your airport card replace en0 with en1.
