Shaun,
Not to be a pest, but for housekeeping purposes, please keep this
discussion on the list. Also, reply at the bottom of the email to
help keep things consistant for those who may be following the
thread...thanks.
Now, for running pump or dhclient, run as root by entering "pump" or
"dhclient". You can specify an interface as well, "-i eth0" if you
like, but it's not necessary if you have only one. Otherwise, it will
run on all interfaces. All the dhcp activity is logged to
/var/log/syslog, so check there for details of what happens.
good luck,
jc
