It might be an ISP policy.
Some ISPs will force a new address on all users from time to time, to
make it difficult for people to run servers. (I know a DSL provider
who logs you out every 24 hours.)
I've never used pump myself. You could try dhcpd (I used that for a
while) or dhcp-client (which I currently use). I wasn't too keen on
dhcpd, but I don't remember why exactly.
