Hello Jon Backus,
You may have been able to save yourself a network shutdown by
using NETTOOL.NET.SYS. Once within NETTOOL, enter NAMEADDR...and then
ROUTING...and then GATELIST. You would most likely see a column that
indicates a deactivated gateway (router), that is ACTIVE column = "N". Try
issuing a GATEUP on the gateway IP address. As with most things YMMV.
