    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?
