I'm no expert, but this seems to be distro dependant. you could try `ifconfig eth0 up` and `ifconfig eth0 down` this should be the equivalent of /release /renew but then you would probably have to use pump (or whatever your distro uses) to get things fully working. `pump -i eth0` on gentoo i use: `/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart` i think some other distros use some form of `/etc/init.d/networking restart` which distro are you using? -Mark _______________________________________________ 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
