I had to reconfigure my firewall machine for DHCP, in order to connect
to the new ATT network. I'm running debian sparc on it, so the script
files are slightly different from Red Hat. I ran the pump command
similar to below, but it only negotiated a lease for about three
minutes, and wouldn't connect again after that.
I had to modify my /etc/network/interfaces file as follows:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
hostname 12.242.19.34
and my pump.conf:
domainsearch "attbi.com"
retries 3
device eth0 {
}
I am not specifying "nodns" because I want dhcp to write a
new /etc/resolv.conf file.
After these mods, I had to reboot -- simply running pump didn't work.
I'm up and running now, so I hope this helps some of you.
