Renew IP address in Dynamic IP

In Windows you enter the following commands in DOS to renew your IP in Dymanic IP:-

Code:

ipconfig /flushdns

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

What are the equivalent commands in Linux?

As root,

Code:

ifconfig eth0 up

@mrrangerman: Since when does ifconfig eth0 up do DHCP requests?

I guess you'd need to:

Code:

dhclient eth0

-or-

dhcpcd eth0

after getting the interface back up.
