Starting/stopping a network interface

[Roland Giesler]

The interface is up, but it still read 192.168.1.1 !!  Although I've changed
/etc/rc.conf the change doesn't seem to be effective.  That's why I was
wondering how to stop/start the interface so the change could be re-read (or
am I thinking to much in a Windows fashion here?)

Thanks

Roland

Is the interface up?  What does ifconfig -a say?
