I need ifdown and ifup network programs. Where can I get them? Thanks. I am using Porteus v 5.0.

I think I found the answer in https://www.linuxquestions.org/question ... re-283445/ : using dhcpcd -k and -n as ifdown(release) and ifup (renew). B)

Just a minute ago, Blaze solved this problem too in chat :
sudo ifconfig <interface-name> down
sudo ifconfig <interface-name> up
for example :
sudo ifconfig eth0 down
sudo ifconfig eth0 up worked ! Thanks @Blaze. :worthy:
