Re: pump failing to obtain IP

["roylo" <roylo@example.com>]

Here you go

"Please note that in RedHat 6.x Redhat as default includes a DHCP client
called pump instead of above mentioned dhcpcd. CD-ROM does include dhcpcd
RPM so if
you have no luck with pump try with dhcpcd. After you install dhcpcd (e.g.
rpm -i dhcpcd-1.3.17pl2-1.i386.rpm) you will have to make some changes."

go to this site and hopfully this helps

BTW sorry about the mistake I made before ^_^
