Try installing the dhclient package. The version of pump in wisp-dist is doesn't work with many of the DHCP servers I've tested because it sends its requests with the source IP set to the IP of the internal network interface; most ISPs seem to configure their servers to ignore requests which arrive from addresses outside their DHCP pools and so the requests are ignored. I believe this has been fixed in later versions. Chris ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Parasoft Error proof Web apps, automate testing & more.
