[ltp] DHCP- releasing/renewing IP addresses

[Tod Harter]

In a Red Hat-ish system you can simply type 

ifdown eth0

to down eth0

and 

ifup eth0

to bring it back up (which will restart your DHCP client properly, set any 
routes, etc etc etc.).

All your other interfaces work the same way, including PPP, lo, etc.
