You're the second person to tell me this one, so it must be the truth. 
 I actually was doing some reading through the rc man pages, and the 
rc.* files.

The syntax for the above command is interesting.  While logged in as 
root and current dir was /etc, I did ./netstart and was promptly told I 
didn't have permissions.  Evidently, the proper way to run the netstart 
script is with the above command.  After samba finished compiling, I'll 
give it a try.

Thanks everybody.

PS Thanks to to Don Cooley with the ifconfig stuff.  I do actually know 
the proper use of ifconfig, I just wanted to know of a way to do this 
without typing a "ton" of commands.  Yes, it's probably lazy of me, but 
I knew that there should be a simpler way to "reset/reconfigure" the 
network settings without completely rebooting the system and without 
doing the montrage of ifconfig commands.  My machine and I just moved 
networks, so I had to reconfigure everything.
