[Janm]

Anybody please
What command is used to renew the ip address on the ext nic when you are getting ip with dhcp??
in windows i normaly use these

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /all

[del]

in windows i normaly use these
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /all

I am not sure, but I know that "ifconfig" is the equivalent to "ipconfig", so may be try

ifconfig /release
ifconfig /flushdns
ifconfig /renew
ifconfig /all

It's worth a try, nothing ventured, nothing gained

I have already tried but no
7.0 use dhclient so its somthing like

ifdown eth1
dhclient eth1
ifup eth1

and used
netstat -i
arp -a
to se results
and status
/etc/init.d/network status


when ext nic is eth1
but this dont seems to do either
