Cox.net - directed to Mr. Pyne primarily

\_ No probs there.  I'm always online.  Even hooked up a UPS system to help
\_ with that one.  I suppose I should get one of those dhs.org clients to
\_ keep my URL up to date for me though.
\_ 4 hours... If they want their DHCP servers hammered that often, that's
\_ their problem.

I followed the instructions (when the servers weren't hammered for
conversion) and ignored the confusing part of the advance user page
"hostname is unimportant" "don't change hostname".

Odd thing though, pump's status output

# pump -s
Device eth0
        IP: 24.177.xx.xx  (old ip still)
        Netmask: 255.255.255.0
        Broadcast: 24.177.xx.255
        Network: 24.177.xx.0
        Boot server 24.1.240.45
        Next server 0.0.0.0
        Gateway: 24.177.xx.1
        Hostname: <xxxxxx>
        Domain: mesa1.az.home.com
        Nameservers: 24.1.240.33 24.1.240.35 24.1.240.34
        Renewal time: Tue Jan 22 09:34:44 2002
        Expiration time: Tue Jan 22 13:25:08 2002

Now it might just be me, but that doesn't look like a 4 hour window
from Monday morning....

Anyone else "convert" yet not?

I know the cox.net addrs are elsewhere in ipland and I even powered
down my modem for 5-10 minutes to see if that would help it
retrain... no dice.
