Stop and start networking in Linux is quite defference with windows. Some peoples like to start and stop their networking with this command:
1. To start on Ubuntu Linux (network script):
/etc/init.d/networking start
2. To stop
/etc/init.d/networking stop
On Debian similar commands are used as above.
but
Do you know other command?
The others command is:
To start :
ifup eth0 (eth0 is your network card name)
To stop:
ifdown eth0
That all.
