How do you use it correctly? Just "sh > /etc/netstart"? > That should work. But read the contents of the file. It does not restart anything, just start Quote: # This file is NOT called by any of the other scripts - it has been # obsoleted by /etc/rc.d/* and is provided here only for user # convenience (if you're sitting in single user mode and wish to start # the network by hand, this script will do it for you). It seems like I loose my remote connection when doing it this way due to ipfw which I normally restart with #sh /etc/ipfw.rules & so I don't lose my connection #sh /etc/netstart & or #sh /etc/netstart both connection lost So after a config change of ip and gateway I prefer the netif and routing option DISCLAIMER: This e-mail is for the intended recipient(s) only If you have received it by mistake please let us know by reply and then delete it from your system; Access, disclosure, copying, distribution or reliance on any of it by anyone else is prohibited.
