    Refreshing IP address

    I wanted to know the command to refresh my IP address after I unplug my system from one network cable and plug in another.
    In windows i do a 'ipconfig /renew' for this, what is the Linux equivlalent command for this?

    /etc/initrc.d/networking restart

    What distro are you using?

    Some distro's call things different names, have them in different places etc.

    You can also try:

    ifdown ethX, ifup ethX
    or
    ifconfig ethX down, ifconfig ethX up
