Re: dhcp & ip addresses

[Eric Boo <moongazer@gmx.net>]

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. However, my firewall has been showing many ips
running the same exploits (port 53) against as well as pinging my
machine. 

I'm thinking of grabbing a different ip from my dhcp-providing cable
ISP. So far, dhclient and pump keeps giving me the same ip, even when
I apt-get remove --purge and install the other. Only dhcpcd from
stable gives me another ip. I'm using SID, so is there a way to use
pump or dhclient to drop the current ip that they insist on giving me
and force them to look for a different one?
