Restarting the network is not something we are allowed to do.

service networking restart

stop: Job failed while stopping

start: Job is already running: networking

I am unsure of how to deal with this. yesterday i used the restart button and got a "Status: Something is wrong; we don't know what's happening with this server." so i am loathe to keep doing that.
