Hi,
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.
Ablsolutely, profiling your connections should be the way, IMO. That way
you can have one profile for home use with DHCP and one for work with
the static IP.
