Trying to change the IP address in /etc/network/interfaces and then
/etc/init.d/networking restart does not really change my IP. I am
having to do a reboot to really change the IP. Could someone please
help me in understanding why restarting networking doesn't do it?
OUTPUT BEFORE CHANGING IP ADDRESS:
lenny-template:~# ifconfig

lenny-template:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.31.253.153
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 10.31.253.0
broadcast 10.31.253.255
gateway 10.31.253.1
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
dns-nameservers 10.100.8.203
Then I edit only the 'address' line of 'iface eth0 inet static' to:
address 10.31.253.154
and issue the command: /etc/init.d/networking restart.
After that when I run ipconfig command, I see only iface lo in the
output. If I run ipconfig -a command, then I see iface eth0 too but
its ip address is still the old one: 10.31.253.153
Please help.
