Check to see if there is a pump update package available. I recall
seeing a Red Hat update shortly after the 6.0 release that mentioned
something about an inability/difficulty in getting a DHCP response from
NT servers. I could be completely off-base about it though, it's been
months since I saw it and it didn't really apply to anything I was doing
so I didn't pay much attention to it... :)
