Hello there,

I made some change in the file /etc/network/interfaces and now i want to apply these change to the interface.

in few word before it was:

Code:

iface eth0 inet dhcp

and i change it to:

Code:

iface eth0 inet static
   address 192.168.123.160
   netmask 255.255.255.0
   network 192.168.123.0
   broadcast 192.168.123.255
   gateway 192.168.123.254

I was just wondering how can i apply these changes to the interface with out rebooting.
i've allready try

Code:

ifdown eth0
ifup eth0

but the interface keep it old ip address from the dhcp.

any idea? is there any other file to edit?

Thanks

Edit /etc/sysconfig/networkingscript/device/ifcfg-eth0.
End put your entery over there
and start
service network restart.
