the problem was DNS resolution. i manually entered my ISP's DNS servers into the resolv.conf file to get it going.
the documentation refers to a "nodns" setting in pump.conf, but i haven't been able to find where that is, yet. in the meantime, it's online and functioning via the manual DNS server entries (from the static ip section of that doc). i was under the impression that pump (at least in pump.lrp form) was obsolete? where does one access pump.conf? > From: dmb.leaf-u...@ntlworld.com > To: leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2011 15:16:57 +0000 > Subject: Re: [leaf-user] standard dynamic dhcp connection (cable) - can't get > a proper IP > > On Sun, 2011-02-13 at 14:46 +0000, davidMbrooke wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I have a very similar set-up which works fine using dhcpcd in the > > default configuration. > > > > Sure, there is a call to "ifconfig" which does not exist, but only > > from /libexec/dhcpcd-hooks/10-mtu which by default is switched off > > in /etc/dhcpcd.conf - did you un-comment #option interface_mtu in that > > file? > > > > Your "ip addr show" output indicates that eth0 is running with the > > DHCP-allocated address, which looks OK to me. > > > > What exactly isn't working?
