Public bug reported:
Hi there,
I have a problem with getting DHCP offer after changing network settings
from static to dhcp (or vice versa).
/etc/network/interface file:
iface eth0 inet dhcp --> iface eth0 inet static
or
iface eth0 inet static --> iface eth0 inet dhcp
You can find all my console attempts to get it working in attachment
file below (pay attention only to eth0, not wlan0 which was down).
After changing /etc/network/interface file I tried (many times) for example:
$ /etc/init.d/networking stop
$ /etc/init.d/networking start
$ /etc/init.d/networking restart
$ ifdown eth0
$ ifup eth0
$ rm /var/run/dhclient*
$ killall -9 -r dhclient*
$ ifconfig eth0 down
$ ifconfig eth0 up
$ dhclient eth0
..but I was not successful at all until rebooting the whole OS. After
that, everything worked fine again (dhclient etc.).
Thanks in advance, Vojtech Vitek [V-Teq].
