force new ip from dhcp??

[monkeyking]

I want to get a new ip from a dhcp server. I already have one but need a new one.

I'm on a nat network.
I know that this can be accomplished by using another network card, but this is rather overkill.

there must be a simpler way to do this.

thanks in advance

monkeyking,

See man dhcpcd and the -s option.
It allows you to suggest an IP you would like if its free.
