Several distros handle this differently, Debian based ones have ifup ifdown scripts that take care of everything automatically (assuming the system is set up right, no different than windows here). pump is old, you probably have either dhclient or dhcpc, dhclient eth0 should get an IP for eth0, again assuming that your physical network is working properly and also that the DHCP server is working as expected. I haven't used dhcpc in a while, so I am not sure what its command line options are, but I think it was dhcpc -i eth0 (run it with --help) > or the Windows XP network connection repair thingy? I do not know what this does, in my experience it rarely works (I have not actually witnessed this actually fixing a problem). > > I tried ifconfig adaptername down %% iconfig adaptername up > ifconfig is only one piece of the puzzle. > But it didn't appear to work. > Suggestions? Knowing the distro and the tools it uses is a better place to start. With K/Ubuntu there are some very good forums and IRC channels to help. YMMV with other distros (PCLinuxOS does not appear to have the documentation as most of the distros I have tried). Also, I am sure it has been mentioned, but linuxquestions.org and tldp.org are excellent places to look as well (especially at 4 in the morning when everyone else is likely sleeping... not that I have computer problems at 4 am) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEV/vfwRXgH3rKGfMRApeaAJoCnQJ5pKl+L6WEwYr18dzBW/LPnQCfY6Yn y34UDVb5ir6F5WoD61It2O0= =Elpq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
