Full reset of network interface

I have a Raspberry Pi. If it's connected to a network, and cables are changed, IP numbers changed, and what not, it sometimes stops working. A simple reboot solves the problem.

Is there any way of doing a full reset of everything that has to do with networking, without rebooting the whole operating system? How do I do that?

1 Answer

You have not stated the operating system used. Depending on the operating system, you should run the disable and enable commands for the network card.

Example:

ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up

Example 2:

ifdown etho
ifup eth0

That will reinitialize network without the need of a reboot.
