I just got a new Siemens modem for the Telus high speed enhanced service. If I turn off the modem then turn it back on my Debian amd64 system has an IP address of 169.... when it should be a 192.... address from the DHCP set-up. No problem, just restart the network, right? However, when I do a
/etc/init.d/networking restart it claims to have reconfigured the network but the IP address is not changed. I still have the 169... address. A reboot resets the IP properly but I should not have to reboot. Any idea why the soft networking restart does not re-do the IP properly? Thanks for any pointers, Bob -- Dr. Robert J.
