Hi all, I'm using pump on SID. My ISP is a cable provider who do not issue static ips. Usually, when I use pump, I have the same ip address for months, unless I switch off the modem and someone else grabs it.
When I reboot into windows on the same machine, I get another ip address, then when I go back to linux again, it's back to the same old ip address again (assuming no one grabbed it). If I use dhcpcd, it's another ip. Question: How are these ip address stored, if they are (under pump espcially), and how do I force pump to get another different ip if needed? Also, I can't seem to use pump on the command line after releasing it with pump -r. pump -R -i eth0 and simply "pump" both gave operation failed. Maybe I should go back to dhcpcd. Or is there an alternative? How's dh-client? Eric
