Hi guys, thanks for the ideas. Unfortunately I'm no further. I tried playing around with your suggestions, but I still end up at the same point, which is that pump is started, and does nothing except write a debug syslog message that it is requesting a lease. The interface itself is brought up OK - if I type ifconfig I can see the interface and number of packets sent/received ticks up, it's just I don't get an IP address. I'm copying this to the pump maintainer (hello Steve), maybe he's got some ideas. Chris
