renewing ip address...
 

what the linux command line equivalent to ipconfig /renew in win2k

Try this:

ifdown eth0
ifup eth0

ok thanks..but the thing is im going thru ssh...so once it goes down i cant go back in to bring it up

You could always write a shell script. That would run the ifup even if ssh had been cut off.

uh...i always thought it was
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up

Oops. Yeah, you're right.

i like the shell script idea :D

Try searching, I found this in less than a minute.
