Can't access network interfaces anymore [Kinda urgent]
Hello,
I've bought an semi-dedicated (cloud computing) server, but yesterday I had to change my IP, so I tried this with PuTTY:
Went to
/etc/network/interfaces
And changed
iface eth0 inet static
To
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Hoping to get an dynamic IP
Then I restarted my network with:
/etc/init.d/networking restart
And then I lost my connection to the host, I've contacted the support team of the company that hosts it (actually it's hosted in Softlayer, but I've bought it from other vendor, 'cause I'm from Brazil), and he said he tried this:
/etc/network/interfaces:1
in the host computer, but didn't help... He wants to format the computer, but I would lost all my datas, and this is just unthinkable... What could I do, please? I'm desperate!
Thanks... Waiting anxiously for answers...
[I kinda now this isn't the best place to post this, but I'm desperate... Please understand]

truncate
TRUNCATE(1) User Commands TRUNCATE(1)
NAME
truncate - shrink or extend the size of a file to the specified size
SYNOPSIS
truncate OPTION... FILE...
DESCRIPTION
Shrink or extend the size of each FILE to the specified size
A FILE argument that does not exist is created.
If a FILE is larger than the specified size, the extra data is lost. If a FILE is shorter, it is extended and the extended part (hole)
reads as zero bytes.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-c, --no-create
do not create any files
-o, --io-blocks
treat SIZE as number of IO blocks instead of bytes
-r, --reference=RFILE
base size on RFILE
-s, --size=SIZE
set or adjust the file size by SIZE bytes
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is 10*1024). Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (pow-
ers of 1000).
SIZE may also be prefixed by one of the following modifying characters: '+' extend by, '-' reduce by, '<' at most, '>' at least, '/' round
down to multiple of, '%' round up to multiple of.
