Re: disconnected and connected cable

there's really only one reason for restarting a linux system.
and that is when you want to boot a different kernel.
anything else (and i mean anything) can be fixed without rebooting.

this said, if you're talking about your wired ethernet,
plug/unplug of the ethernet cable is a totally harmless operation.
your system must promptly reconnect to the network.

Re: disconnected and connected cable

your ethernet interface is eth0, yeah?

you could try:

sudo ifdown eth0
sudo ifup eth0

in any case, pls, post the details of your network config:

cat /etc/network/interfaces
cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/resolv.conf
ifconfig -a
netstat -rn

cheers
