the requested operation requires elevation

So than I type ipconfig/renew,and I get this;

No operation can be performed on Wireless Network Connection while it has its media disconnected

Wireless LAN adapter Local Area Connection:

Media state.......................media disconnected

I am using the SMCD3GNV gateway

Are you trying to do this while using an "Administrator's account ?

That's just informing you of the networking adapters that are currently disabled.

This matters not as the operation is being performed on you computer. Why are you trying this ?

I tried again,this time,running cmd as administrator....

still tells me No operation can be performed on Wireless Network Connection while it has its media disconnected

[kkingccrimson]

Tried yet again,this time connected to wireless network,and also left the ethernet cable plugged in.

Shows a list of tunnel adapters,all but 1 are dicconnected

My IP did not change

Be advised that what you are doing will be changing the private (non-routable) local LAN IP address that the router segment of that device's built in DHCP server is assigning to the computer and not the public (WAN) IP address that Comcast's DHCP server is assigning to your connection. Not sure if that is what you are trying to do.
