Brook: =>I have an old pentium box running 7.1 that acts as a =>firewall between my cable modem and home computers. =>The external ip address is configured via dhcp using pump. =>Problem is that the computer fails to renew the lease on the =>ip address on a regular basis. If I log on to the computer =>and type 'pump' it (somtimes) renews the lease, but it =>doesn't seem to do it automatically. I called the ISP =>(Comcast) to ask if there were any problems on their end - =>they said my network card (an old ne2000) was crapping out. =>Not sure if i believe it. Any ideas?
Do not use pump. It's broken. Use dhcpcd. The problem is that when a lease is expired pump aborts. Dhcpcd will ask for a new lease. -- -Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana.
