I had tired restarting card services, but I kept
running into problems because pcmcia wouldn't stop due
to network running, network services wouldn't stop
because there were still open connections, connections
wouldn't close because to connection to server. Etc. 
I had tried searching google for dhcp release renew
commands, but hadn't had much luck at finding any.
Thanks for mentioning pump. I'll try it out when I'm
on campus tomorrow. Hopefully it will do what I need.
