[NCLUG] Linux/Att cable modem....

[Mark Fassler]

The version of pump (or dhcpd or whatever) that shipped with RedHat 6.1 
doesn't work with AT&T @Home (at least not for me).  

I upgraded to the latest version of pump and had no problems.  (Later I 
just upgraded to the latest version of KRUD.  Even better.)

(Another option, depending on your laziness, is to hook up a Windows box 
to your cable modem and find out your new IP address.  It doesn't change 
that often.)
