Since Ubuntu ( if that is what your are using ) is based on Debian, you
could just do a :
# ifdown -a
# ifup -a
That should restart everything in the config files if I am not to
rusty on Debian based distros and if that fails do a ifdown eth0 ( eth0
since that's the interface you mentioned before ) and repeat both of
those commands just to make sure.
If all fails, learn to use 'ifconfig', 'route' and 'dhclient' and 'dhcpcd'.
Cheers
