My dumb thinking, the dhcpd process is what gets your IP address so yes shutting down that process shuts down connection. You still may want to use rcnetwork restart instead of rcnetwork restart eth0 as routing info (/etc/resolv.conf) needs to be updated as well and I am not sure if specifying eth0 as a parameter will update the default route as well. Doesn't hurt to try unless you already have.
Doesn't seem to make any difference. I have used both, rcnetwork restart and rcnetwork restart etho, with apparent difference. note: I have set to not alter /etc/resolv.conf. It seems to interfer with my no-ip dyns setup. tks, -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2
