Fix Internet Connection Problems w/ Linux
My internet connection is acting weird lately.
I called my ISP and I was told to connect my PC cable directly to the modem,
>Boot XP
>start
>run
>cmd
>ifconfig/release
>ifconfig/renew
Then I get it to work.
May I kindly know how to fix this problem even using my linux (ubuntu)?
Thank you for your time and attention!

The -r flag explicitly releases the current lease, and once the lease has been released, the client exits.Code:sudo dhclient -r
Obtain new IPCode:sudo dhclient
