Reset network to renew DHCP when changing locations
Authored by: Fofer on Oct 22, '03 11:17:02AM

Hmm... in the past I have just changed the "Configure:" pull down to "Manually," clicked "Apply Now," then switchced it back to "Using DHCP."

It always seemed to refresh DHCP just fine. Why go to all the hassle? Oh, I forgot, you folks just loooove Terminal. ;-)

...or make a "No Network" Location

Another "non-cli" approach is to make a new Network Location in the Network System Preference and then in the "Show" port configuration popdown, deactivate all of the interface checkboxes. When you want to reset networking (or need to shutdown all networking except lo0), just select this "No Network" Location, reselect the Location you want, and you're done.

I call mine "Working without a net". Seemed more appropriate. {grin}
