Almost surely NO. Normally, your IP address is assigned as part of the ppp handshaking process, not after that by DHCP (which is what pump handles). It is always *possible* that your ISP uses some oddball system, so no one except it can say NO with 100% certainty ... but a ppp system that needed pump would be extremely unusual. -- -------------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"-------- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, California, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Dice - The leading online job board for high-tech professionals.
