I already posted the original and I made very few changes to the file.

I set it up to that eth0-home comes up by default and when I travel, I issue 
the command 'if-down eth0=eth0-home' followed by 'ifup eth0=eth0-away'
That should get dhcp working.  I grabbed some other packages in case this 
fails, or I can just dialup, I know that is working.
