Back
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?
