DHCP Refresh

max12590 · 26-01-2008, 08:45 PM

Ok, I am wondering if there is a linux command (of course there is, there is a linux command for everything) that will refresh my IP. I want something basically the same as "Repair" in Windows (well, just the renewal of IP, I don't care about clearing caches and such) or ipconfig /release-renew.

You can do ifdown eth0 and then ifup eth0.

On a Debian-based system, you can just do:

Code:

/etc/init.d/networking restart

On Red Hat or derivatives, the following will work:

Code:

service network restart

Ok, and Ubuntu (and consequently Mint) is Debian based, correct?
