you can check your current IP address by running /sbin/ifconfig. This
will display the local IP address, network IP address, broadcast and adapter
status.
You can also (if you're running pump, type pump -i <interface> --status,
although I'm not sure if pump monitor modems--I haven't tried it.
dhcpd may have a similar status argument, but I haven't switched yet, so I
can't bring up the man page... search the HOW-TOs to see what you'd type
for dhcpd.
Re-leasing a specific dynamic address is not a client-side option. If your
ISP configures "reserved, dynamically assigned" IPs, which means they
configure their DHCP server to give you the same address every time, then
you can retain that address, but chances are, at some point, you'll get a
new address if your ISP doesn't offer this..
