"Reboot" interface eth0

Hi,

I only know how to manage Astaro through GUI and I can´t find any way to reboot/reset only eth0. When my ADSL modem has been "locked" and I reboot it a new dhcp address will be applied... How can I just reboot eth0 (not the entire firewall) to get the new dhcp address on Astaro eth0?

Stop and start the interface using webmin.

or

Using ssh, login and via the console issue the following commands:
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up

Either one will force your dhcp interface to acquire an appropriate address.

Yes, use SSH to login as "loginuser"
Then do 'su' to change to root.

exit and logout afterwards.

This is because your ISP probably has it configured to offer the same address until the lease expires. There are various ways they assign ip addresses over dhcp, some force renewals, others will give you the same one over and over, unless your coputer is off at the time the lease expires and someone else grabs up your old ip.

simply downing and upping the eth wont force a renewal.
