Thanks. That didn't do that trick, but it was very helpful to know anyway.
I found out about network stop, too, because you your lead :). Dont you
just love newbs! But that didn't do the trick. I wanted to release my ip
number so I would get a new one via dhcp. Sorry I that wasn't clear in my
first post. The problem was that the ip number I had was new and wasn't in
synch with my computer's listing in the ip table(s) on the network. And I
can't do anything to get those updated, so I was trying to release my ip
number, in the hopes the when I got a new one via dhcp that the new one
would be added to the ip table(s). So restarting the network didn't do
anything in that regard, because I just got the same ip number back.
What I did, to resolve this, was to just type in the ip number that was in
the ip table(s), that I could get by typing "host tcob," the name of my
server. It gave me the ip number from the ip table(s) -- which wasn't the
one actually current and assigned to me. So I just entered it manually with
netconf. I really didn't want to do this, but I had to.
Is there anything wrong with manually adding the ip assigned to you with
dhcp on a company intranet?

"/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart" (as root) should do the trick.
