Yes, Robert...I'm familair with this whole procedure...and I have found that just running ipconfig /release and /renew often does this even faster than all the unplugging and replugging But, for me, that stuff only helps me when I'm having problems getting to ALL websites....in this case, I could get to all websites just fine EXCEPT freelists (which has happened to me twice before)...becuz it seems to just magically fix itself, I have to assume it's just some hiccup in the way my server talks to the freelists server...so plugging and unplugging stuff in my Office isn't going to have an effect...

A technician from my isp (Adelphia) privately admitted to me Adelpia frequently caused 'communication' problems in effort to keep things running smoothly.
