how renew DHCP lease?

kapqa · Yesterday 18:43:55

hello ,

on an older computer have installed devuan 5.0 and it function beautifully,

maybe it was update from devuan 3.0 and then 4.0 , but one thing seem missing,

since the network icon is missing some "action".

now when i was switching router, the network was not coming back up;

so i wanted to "release" dhcp to renew the lease, but it would not find it then menu.

please show on how to remedy the situation;

i did the other terminal command

sudo ifup eth0 down
sudo ifup eth0 up

to no avail;

thank you very much

e.g.: /etc/init.d/networking restart

...or with ifupdown it would be

sudo ifdown eth0
sudo ifup eth0

Perhaps the DHCP options are on the ipv4 settings tab?

thanks , hte command felt wrong to me ,

maybe "sudo ifdown eth0" is the proper one;

however it would be nice if it could be done from taskbar etc.

it seems there is no toggle to release the dhcp;

maybe only possible to "disable" first +save and then renew by automatic dhcp +save.
