Occasionally I need reset the external cable modem/router that connects
our home machines to the internet.   After doing so, I frequently have
to reboot my machine to establish a connection.  Occasionally I've
been successful just doing

$ sudo dhclient -r
$ sudo dhclient

However, that frequently does not work.  When on Ubuntu I occasionally
was able to succeed with

$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Trying that on Squeeze gives the warning

Running /etc/init.d/networking restart deprecated because it may
not enable again some interfaces

Web searching indicate that

$ sudo service networking restart

may be the proper way, however that was unclear.  I haven't tried that
yet.   Is there a recommended method?  Is there a Debian howto that
recommends what should be done?
