Title: How to get eth1 to renew address
Post by: axessit on October 22, 2010, 11:00:39 AM

Having been having issues with getting on internet with my ISP lately and am testing a couple of ADSL modems and swapping them over. Unfortunately at this stage I can't get them to use the same IP addresses (and actually don't want to), but when I swap them, I want to be able to renew the eth1 DHCP lease as both modems have different gateway IP's. I have tried

Code: [Select]

/etc/init.d/network restart but that doesn't renew it. Have tried

Code: [Select]

ifconfig eth1 down/up too but no good.

End up having to reboot the server.

Is there an equivalent to windows ipconfig /release /renew ?

AFAIK that should work, are you sure you set the configuration of eth1 to be DHCP?
What is the output of the following command?

Code: [Select]

db configuration getprop ExternalInterface Configuration
