If you just want to shut down the network then you could try
ifconfig name_of_interface down
then
ifconfig name_of_interface up
see man ifconfig
or
init 1 to drop to single user mode without network
and then
exit to return to init3 with network
As it turns out, these both are considered so standard that it would be
stating the obvious to most unix admins. Unfortunantly that is the case
with a lot of things in Unix and is probably why the learning curve is so
high.

Subject: Restart network without reboot?
--sorry if the list gets this twice, had email problems too--
I think this must be one of them super simple things that everyone must
know
but me :]
I've done the following;
added a line to /etc/rc.d
mv /usr/local/etc/rc.d/proftpd.sh.sample to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/proftpd.sh
chmod 555 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/proftpd.sh (which does not seem quite right
to me)
And now I want to restart the network without doing a shutdown -r now
I'm guessing its something like killall -1 'insert unknown here'
I've also been looking over lots of help and FAQ's online, nothing
mentions how to do this (that I've seen).
I thought the answer would have been on
http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/admin.html but its not.
Thanx for reading this major newbie question :]
