Kent, Thanks yet again. Sorry if I was not clear. I *did* run: ps ax | grep -E 'dhcp|pump' exactly that way. What it produced in response was, exactly: 233pts/0 S 0:00 grep -E dhcp|pump I don't know what that means, but if I am understanding you correctly, it means pump is not running? Despite the fact that: /etc/init.d/networking start *did* produce a reference to pump (the exact wording I don't remember-but as though it was running it) when it was trying to follow the altered version of /etc/network/interfaces I don't know what Knoppix is, but please let me know. I frankly don't see how it could be hardware or cabling, though, when the same computer, when running on a different OS, is having none of these problems.
