As far as I know, bringing the interface down and up again does not
trigger the dhclient to run again. Eitehr you can run the client
yourself (insert interface)

sudo dhclient <iface>

or simply restart the networking completely

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Another solution might have been using the networkmanager to restart the
connection (knetworkmanager for kubuntu, gnome-networkmanager for ubuntu
IIRC).
