Help Getting COX/DHCP to work

[Julian M Catchen]

Hey Everyone,

Well, someone on this list mentioned that if Cox takes over the ailing 
@home service that they are going to go DHCP all the way.

I have never been successful getting DHCP to work on my boxen and have 
always just hardcoded the IP they gave me.  My setup is the following:

*486 running Debian stable acting as a firewall
*two ethernet cards
*the Trinity OS firewall script
*pump dhcp client on eth0
*eth1 acting as a 192.168.0.* internal network

Whenever I try to start pump like this:

  $ pump -h cx1211543-a

it fails.  Here is the output in syslog:

Obviously, the REJECTed packets make me suspicious of the firewall, but I 
am far from being a firewall expert.

Any help is appreciated.
