clinet is also fedora -2 . i used # netconfig to configure dhcp client options . when i use # ifconfig , i donot get a ip from the dhcp server. i get the same old static IP which was earlier configured. why is it so ? how can i get a ip from the dhcp server on the client ? in windows , .....ipconfig /flushdns or ipconfig /renew or is used.

So you have set your ip still staticaly and then want an ip dynamically? You have to make sure that your client asks the server for a ip, instead of using the static one, I did this with the gui-tool system-config-network

no, i have not configured static ip. in # netconfig, i clicked on "obtain ip thru dhcp". i mean to say , before touching this dhcp thing, i had configured static ip on the client. i am still getting that old ip even if i have configured for dynamic.
