What is the fastest way to force my iPhone to obtain a new IP-address? One way to get a new IP-address is to simply restart the iPhone, but that is rather slow. Is there any faster way to obtain a new IP-address? I'm running iPhone OS 3.0 and I'm getting my Internet connectivity over GPRS.

The quickest way I have found to reset all the network connections (wifi, 3g/edge/gprs) is to go to settings and turn on "Airplane Mode" for a few seconds and then turn it off again. It will reset all network connections. Settings-->Airplane Mode I have found this also to help when my phone doesn't connect to 3g in a known 3g area. | |||||

Turn wireless off and on again? It may not actually get a new IP as it may just renew the lease. I don't have a ipod/iphone so I don't know if there is a renew IP button, but i would take a look around any network settings, especially the page on wifi where it says what your current status / connection is (going from memory on my brothers one) | |||||

There is definitely a "Renew Lease" button. Go to Settings, Wi-Fi, click the blue arrow next to a network and you'll see it. You can also tell it to "forget" the current network it's on. | |||
