I use FC3 both at work and at home. At work I have a STATIC IP address and at home I have a DYNAMIC IP (DHCP) internet connection.
Everyday when I reach work (or get back home) I edit the "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0" file in order to change from DHCP to static IP (or vice versa) after I start FC3 and then restart the system for the new network settings to take effect.
Is there a command I can run to restart the network detection process without rebooting once I edit the ifcfg-eth0 file?
You can try the following:
/sbin/service network restart
or
/sbin/ifdown eth0 /sbin/ifup eth0
Also check out "Applications -> System Tools -> Network Device Control"
and "Applications -> System Settings -> Network". This is a perfect application for network profiles. There's a good intro at www.ces.clemson.edu/linux/network_profiles.shtml.
