How to manage the networking setup on a Red Hat Linux 4.x or 5.x machine without using the Red Hat control panel? I have no X running on my server!
either use: /etc/rc.d/init.d/net stop|start or (more blunt) ifconfig - lists interfaces ifconfig eth0 down - kills eth0, substitute ppp0 for ppp, etc. DO NOT kill off lo, it enables the machine to talk to itself, and is a virtual interface in any case. When you down the interface you also nuke all routes associated with it. -seifried
man ifconfig
