Hi all
Today the UTS is blocking web access from my laptop with a web page saying my system can access the web again after I have had the virus removed. I have put a IT request in but I'd like to work out some things myself. I thought that as I get an IP address at boot time I might have got an IP address that was last used by a Windows machine with a virus and that IP has been blocked
Im using dhcpclient on a Debian machine. Reading the dhcpclient man pages don't suggest that I can ask for a new address. If I just bring down eth0 and bring it up again I get the same address. Can I force somehow a different address or is that beyond a clients power ?
