/etc/init.d/network restart is a command that requires root privileges.
Just about any command that operates on underlying hardware/system
requires root privileges. Users can do user activities.
A user should be able to ping anywhere permitted by routing of the
network. You might want to log in as a user and try to ping again. In
fact, you should only log in as a regular user. If you need to obtain
root privileges in a shell, you would open a terminal window and type
'su -' (omitting the quotes) and supply the root password and then you
would have root privileges.
I don't know why it would have hung while shutting down.
