get new IP from DHCP?

I am running windows xp pro, a website I like has blocked my IP address and I have been using proxies to access it, but I get tired of finding new proxies every 2-3 days when mine dies...

I have tried release/renew from ipconfig and also repair and disable/enable from windows network connections, as well as changing to other ethernet drops... I think I have even reformatted my comp once since I have been banned and I am stuck with the same IP addy... I think maybe the DHCP server has recorded my MAC address and decided that this should be my quasi-static IP... if I change to my wireless card it gives me a different IP, but this is an unacceptable long term solution because I get poor wireless reception...

any clue how I can convince it to give me a new one?

thanks,
fobmagi
