The link above is my previous post to your initial request. Please
look at the syntax properly and please ignore the "invoke-rc.d" option
if you want to follow the advice of the later poster who said that it
was not meant for sysadmins.

If you do not have Network Manager running:
/etc/init.d/networking  restart
or
service networking restart
or
ifdown <interface>; ifup <interface>
or
ifdown -a; ifup -a
(or
invoke-rc.d networking  restart)

If you have Network Manager running:
/etc/init.d/network-manager restart
or
service network-manager restart
(or
invoke-rc.d network-manager restart)
