Kate, just out of curiosity, why would you want to change your IP address?

I'm not sure what's wrong, but this doesn't
actually do anything on my
FC3 box. Tcpdump shows no DHCP_RELEASE packet is
ever sent, and the
original client doesn't exit either. But perhaps
you might have better
luck with it :)
Have you tried to kill original client first, than
do -r thingie, and
than restart the client (for example, ifdown ethx;
ifup ethx)?

Could you be more exact with the syntax please. I have
read the man pages for dhclient, dhclientlease, etc,
but I am rather lost. Surely I am not the only one who
wants to refresh a dynamically assigned IP...
