Automatically get new TCP/IP settings on wifi adapter?

How do I force Vista to do what it should be doing anyway, i.e. get new
TCP/IP settings when it connects to a new access point (with different SSID,
WEP key, channel no)

Vista (HP) certainly does not do it automatically... ipconfig /all shows IP
address of previous access point... and previous gateway/DNS.

"Repair" usually resolves the issue but it shouldn't be necessary.

DHCP client is on; IPv6 is off; all current updates applied.

Access point that Vista will not connect to properly is a Netgear WPN824
Firmware V2.0.15_1.0.11; DHCP on LAN Port ON (i.e. is LAN DHCP server)

TIA
