Originally posted by rcottere Is there a way to reboot the network, reload all the configs files if they have been modified, without restarting the whole computer?
Sure but what do you mean by "rebooting the network"? You want to release your ip address? Refresh the routing tables?

Rep:
no i just want the new config files to take effect. Whenever i edit them i have to restart and that takes five minutes on my computer (486). There must be an easier way to do this then to restart.
