Hello,
After a bad network interface configuration (ifconfig eth0 127.0.0.1),
I cannot recover the network without rebooting the kernel.
This is my working configuration :
# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:90:3E:1F:1C:17
inet addr:192.168.240.195 Bcast:192.168.247.255 Mask:255.255.248.0

# ping -c 1 66.102.11.99
PING 66.102.11.99 (66.102.11.99): 56 data bytes

round-trip min/avg/max = 4.5/4.5/4.5 ms
Now I set a wrong parameter to the eth0 interface and I restore the
previous good parameters just after.

Since then, I cannot reach machines that are not in my local network.
The only way I found to solve the problem is to reboot.
How is it possible to recover to a normal behaviour without reboot?
In my case, the bootloader set this bad configuration as a kernel boot
argument and I cannot change it.
Please, has someone an idea to deal with?
CC on reply, please.
Thanks,
Regards,
