I _think_ typically

sudo dhcpclient -r
sudo dhcpclient

will initiate a new lease. However if that doesn't you may have to:

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

as well.

Note: I'd give at least 10 sec between 'sudo dhcpclient -r' and 'sudo
dhcpclient' to give your router time to notice the change. Your router
may react faster, but a 10 sec window generally will accomodate even the
slowest of routers/dhcp servers.
