dhcp & ip addresses
Hi all,
I'm using pump on SID. My ISP is a cable provider who do not issue
static ips. Usually, when I use pump, I have the same ip address for
months, unless I switch off the modem and someone else grabs it.
When I reboot into windows on the same machine, I get another ip
address, then when I go back to linux again, it's back to the same old
ip address again (assuming no one grabbed it). If I use dhcpcd, it's
another ip.
Question: How are these ip address stored, if they are (under pump
espcially), and how do I force pump to get another different ip if
needed?
Also, I can't seem to use pump on the command line after releasing it
with pump -r. pump -R -i eth0 and simply "pump" both gave operation
failed. Maybe I should go back to dhcpcd. Or is there an alternative?
How's dh-client?
Eric
