att and cable modem

[Deva Seetharam <devs@usa.net>]

hi all
i run debian kernel 2.4.18 on a ibm t22 notebook. i am trying
to connect to att cable-modem using the intel ethernet card.              
 
i have pump as the dhcp client. i dont have dhcp-client installed.

my /etc/network/interfaces has the entry:
iface eth1 inet dhcp

when i do a ifup eth1 or pump -i eth1, i get the message "operation
failed". (btw, i did register the mac address with att.)

what could be wrong?

thanks,
Deva Seetharam
