I was able to figure out the problem myself. For some reason, I was
unable to get Pump to work with the Rogers@Home DHCP servers. I then
remembered that there was another DHCP client, dhcp-client, which I have
used earlier on one of our office machines.
I installed dhcp-client and added a couple of lines to
/etc/dhclient.conf and voila! I have a fast cable-modem connection.
Not sure what I was doing wrong with Pump.
