    Other useful command prompt commands when experimenting with VPN are ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew

    Here is are a pair of macros to give a similar Excel column output for the commands are ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew


    Code:
    
    '
    Sub ipconfig_release() '
    Rem 1 ipconfig /all
     Shell "cmd.exe /c ""ipconfig /release > """ & ThisWorkbook.Path & "\ipconfig_release.txt"""""
    ' Get the entire text file as a string
    Dim FileNum As Long: Let FileNum = FreeFile(1) '      ' The "highway/ street/ link" to be built to transport the text will be given a number. It must be unique. So we use for convenience, the Freefile function: it returns an integer that represents the next file number that the Open statement can use.  The optional argument for the range number is a variant that is used to specify a range from which the next free file number is returned. Enter a value of data type 0 (default) to return a file number in the range 1 - 255 inclusive. Enter 1 to return a file number in the range 256 - 511.   https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/language/reference/user-interface-help/freefile-function  . Note also : Use file numbers in the range 1-255, inclusive, for files not accessible to other applications. Use file numbers in the range 256-511 for files accessible from other applications
    Dim PathAndFileName As String, strIPcon As String
     Let PathAndFileName = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\ipconfig_release.txt"
     ' Let PathAndFileName = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\test2B.txt"  '  Al
      Open PathAndFileName For Binary As #FileNum 'Open Route to data. Binary is a fundemental type data input...
        strIPcon = VBA.Strings.Space$(LOF(FileNum)) '....and wot recives it hs to be a string of exactly the right length
        Get #FileNum, , strIPcon
      Close #FileNum
    ' Tidy the string
     Let strIPcon = Replace(strIPcon, vbCr & vbCr, vbCr, 1, -1, vbBinaryCompare)
     Let strIPcon = Replace(strIPcon, vbTab, "   ", 1, -1, vbBinaryCompare)
    ' add any extra info to string
    Dim PublicIP As String: Call PubicIP(PublicIP)
      Let strIPcon = "ipconfig /release  " & vbCr & vbLf & ComputerName & vbCr & vbLf & GetIpAddrTable & vbCr & vbLf & PublicIP & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & """" & Format(Now, "DD MMM YYYY") & " " & vbLf & " " & Format(Now, "hh mm ss") & """" & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & strIPcon      ' vbLf is recognised as a new line within an Excel"
    ' String content check
    ' Call WtchaGot(strIPcon)
    ' put the text in the clipboard
    Dim objDataObject As Object: Set objDataObject = GetObject("New:{1C3B4210-F441-11CE-B9EA-00AA006B1A69}")
    objDataObject.SetText strIPcon: objDataObject.PutInClipboard
    
    ' Excel Worksheet
    Dim Ws As Worksheet: Set Ws = ActiveSheet
    Dim Clm As Range, NxtClm As Long
