I am using pump with a DSL provider who only gives a 12hr lease. The
*only* time my IP ever changes is on a reboot. And even on a reboot I
usually get the same IP. So I would suspect some kind of configuration
difference on the server end, or something NetMax is doing differently
than RH.
Maybe a long shot, but one thing you might try is to assign your
network device (eth0?) your current IP as a default, and see if pump
might use this as some kind of starting point.
My /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
IPADDR=216.78.197.97
NETMASK=255.255.252.0
BROADCAST=216.78.199.255
NETWORK=216.78.196.0
USERCTL=no
ONBOOT=yes
You might also see if you can switch from pump to dhcpd for the
client. (Have no idea how Netmax handles this.)
