ifconfig eth0 down seems to stop the connection alright.  ifconfig eth0 up
just brings up the previous configuration, though.  It doesn't seem to
make a new dhcp request, which I think really needs to happen.  Anyway, no
traffic goes to/comes from the 'net after I do ifconfig eth0 down, then
ifconfig eth0 up.  You guessed right, btw, that eth0 is the connection to
the 'net.  Anyone else care to take a shot?

Thanks, James
