My Ubuntu 12.04 VM (in VirtualBox) has an IP of 10.0.0.67, I have deleted the lease in the DHCP server and set a reservation for 10.0.0.64.
Despite multiple restarts, turning off and on the ethernet interface multiple times, it still holds on to its lease of .67.
How can I force it to drop the .67 lease and get the one actually now in the DHCP server?
I've tried sudo dhclient
but it errors with:
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service utility, e.g. service smbd restart
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart job, you may also use the reload(8) utility, e.g. reload smbd
