My poor machine can't pump up the connection to the Internet. I have Mediaone Broadband. I am using pump. I now my NIC works, it connected for a couple of minutes tonight, then the connection went down. I have been switching the connection between Linux and windows. Tonight when I switch the connection the pc link status indicator stayed on and I was able to do a little ftping and have my father connect to my web server. Then it went down. I have not been able to get it back up again. I have read the HOWTO's and I have to the host name in the config file for pump. I did have all this running for about 4 hours, then I rebooted and that was the end of it. When I issue the pump -h linux command I can watch the external lights flicker a couple of times. Someone please help!!!!!! :-( Oh BTW I am running RH 7.0 John Miller
