'~$ sudo ifup eth0' does not provide Internet access.

Hi,
[LAN using pm-utils and Fritz!BoxFon ADSL router] I'm resuming my Hardy
computer from hibernation. I notice that I forgot to switch on prior the
router.
'~$ sudo ethtool eth0' reports 'Link detected'.
sudo ifdown eth0 reports: "interface eth0 not configured."
'~$ sudo ifup eth0' still does not provide Internet access. Only
'sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager restart' provides Internet
access.
Why?

Regards,
Detlef Lechner

Your interface is now configured by the NetworkManager rather than by
configuration files that ifup/ifdown understand. (Personally, I've thrown
NM away as it doesn't seem to give me the versatility that I need.)

Thank you very much for explaining.

After the ifup, try "sudo dhclient" as well to get a fresh dhcp lease from
the router.
