man ifup, man ifdown, on RH 7.2 returned nothing.
network restart had no effect - don't know why
I think dhcpcd -k is going to do it - I'll let you know next time it happens

I think RH 7.2 still has the ifup and ifdown scripts.   Use those.

If that doesn't get it then you can always do:

   #> /etc/init.d/network restart

But,  that'll bring all interfaces down for a few seconds.

If dhcpcd doesn't get a new IP on startup, but holds the stuff it had
before power down, what is the best way to force it to net a new lease 
(is that the right word?)?
Am I asking a question that makes sense?
Thanks in advance.

delete the /etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-<INTERFACE>.* then either HUP the dhcpcd or
(in my case) remove and readd the card (used for my wireless) :^)

there are probably command line options, but this is the way I force it when
necessary.
