Hey, we all had to start somewhere.

The 'service' command controls the system services - for instance if you are
running a webserver,
this is one of the services.
To a Linux system, networking is just another service.
The service comand accepts a few arguments, which just about explain themselves
-
start,   stop,   restart,   status

So 'service network restart' is telling the system to shut down your network
connections, then
start them again.


ps. apologies if I've missed a argument to 'service'
