Don't listen to anyone who advocates the use of pump. pump sucks because it renews leses as long as it can. Then if the lease fails to renew, pump aborts. i.e., it will not ask for a new lease.
The best thing to do is to rpm -e pump Then make the following mods: Modify ifdown so that it does a kill -15 on the pid of the running dhcpcd instead of the dhcpcd -k. This will terminate dhcpcd without releasing the lease. Then when you come back up, the odds will be high that you will get the same lease. You might also want to modify ifup to add additional options (like -R -d) to the dhcpcd commandline. :-) On 23 Oct 2001, Hartnett wrote: =>>From a command line, is there a command that can be run to release and =>renew you IP address? =>Basically the same as "Winipconfig/Ipconfig" on Windows. => => Thanks => Sean -- -Time flies like the wind.
