I just installed dhcp client on my machine for cable modem, RH 7.3. I 
could not get pump to work, but dhcpc worked without any effort. The one 
thing that initially hurt was having the firewall block 
non-Internet-routable addresses...it turns out that AT&T uses one of 
those to talk via dhcp to users. The output below is from the dhcp 
server (I hope it isn't running on the laptop...it could be trying to 
serve itself), I wonder if "abandoned" can be caused by a blocked port 
or address? Did your upgrade change anything at all to do with firewalling?
