If you enable network Hotplugging (MandrakeControlCentre>Network>ManageConnections>Options), then the network will be automatically 'downed' when you disconnect the NIC (after 20 secs) and will be 'upped' automatically when it is connected again. You should then get a new IP address. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
