under 98 and 95 go to start, click on run, and type winipcfg and press
enter.

then chose your ethernet adapter from the drop down menu and you can see
it's current settings with the 'more info' button, release the lease on the
ip address it's got with 'release' andf renew it withj 'renew'.

if all is working well and you have the 'more info' section open you should
be able to click the renwe button and the lease expiry time will go up.

running

# tcpdump -v -v -v -n -s 1500 -i <your network interface, - e.g ed0>

on your netbsd box while clicking renew on the win machine should show you
the packets going back and forwards...
