DHCP and Cox

[David Demland]

Thank you.  It took a few days but I have got the name server running
finally. I can now ping out the port with both an IP and a name. The
problem, when I change back to DHCP on the card I fail to get anything back.
I have tried both dhcpcd and pump both fail. What do I have to do to set up
the DHCP on the outgoing card?
