Kent,

  Thanks yet again.  Sorry if I was not clear.  I 
*did* run:

ps ax | grep -E 'dhcp|pump' 

exactly that way.

What it produced in response was, exactly:

233pts/0  S  0:00 grep -E dhcp|pump

I don't know what that means, but if I am 
understanding you correctly, it means pump is 
not running?

Despite the fact that:

/etc/init.d/networking start

*did* produce a reference to pump (the exact 
wording I don't remember-but as though it was 
running it) when it was trying to follow the 
altered version of

/etc/network/interfaces

I don't know what Knoppix is, but please let me 
know.  I frankly don't see how it could be 
hardware or cabling, though, when the same 
computer, when running on a different OS, is 
having none of these problems.
