In windows7 how do I request a new dhcp lease ?

What I need in the equivalent of the button "repair" on windows XP. The button "diagnose" seems to do a few things but not request a new dhcp lease if one is already available.

Disabling and re-enabling the card does the trick but messes up any program capturing traffic on the interface.
