First, you should limit the operation to the interface in question. You can do this by adding the interface name as optional parameter. Nevertheless, any routing information regarding this interface gets dropped, in your case it most probably the interface of the default gateway. So, your interface will come back, but will be reachable only in its subnet. Something like | # /etc/rc.d/netif restart bge0 && /etc/rc.d/routing restart in a screen session should do the trick. -cs _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
