DHCP Renew

I'm working on a VPN client and I've come across a situation that only appears to affect wifi tunnels and I'm not sure why. After the connection is up and running the host at the other end pushes some dns settings to the client and the client updates the current primary network set with them. When the connection goes down it removes the settings it added. Works fine for the most part. For some wifi setups the client is left in a bad state. It seems loose its routes. If a user goes into the network control panel and clicks the "Renew DHCP" button everything works again.

I haven't been able to discover why the clients are left in this state but in the short run I would like to be able to renew the dhcp lease so the client isn't left unable to connect to a network until the user jogs the network settings. These is more that a user would tolerate.

Anyone have any ideas why this could be happening or how I can renew the lease programatically ?

Thanks,
Matt
