I restarted it again and 'ip addr show' said it didn't have an ip address.
I then restarted it again and it gave me the desired IP. How strange! How
do I I refresh the ip address so I do not need to reboot the computer if
this happens again? I would think it might be 'ip addr renew' or something
like that but the man page for 'ip' doesn't indicate that.
