Restarting Your Netcard

If you have made changes to your netcard, you can either reboot or restart the netcard service. The latter is of course what you should do and here is how: Log in as root and run the following:

restart

Your netcard will reply something like the following:

Shutting down interface eth1: [ OK ]
Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0:
Determining IP information for eth0… failed; no link present. Check cable?
[FAILED]
Bringing up interface eth1:
Determining IP information for eth1… done.
[ OK ]

Now, your netcard is up and running with the new settings and should work properly. Note: This is the Fedora/Red Hat way and other distros may have other solutions.
