DHCP in RedHat 6.2 with RoadRunner cable

[WakeBDr]

I've got a problem with DHCP. I cannot get my cable service to give me an IP via DHCP on my RedHat 6.2. I have tried using pump also to no avail. It will work if I get the IP from a Windows box and then set my linux box to the IP, but I want to get DHCP working so that if the cable service changes my IP I won't be without service. When I try to run pump, it always says "Operation failed" and when I try to start the network with DHCP it always says that it couldn't get an IP from the network (or something like that). Please help!!!

Yup,

A friend of mine has RR cable.....we had a 6.2 box running IPMASQ when we had a small mini-lan of 3 friends. when trying to get eth0 to read to the DHCP, it wouldn't connect, no matter what. We had to give his IP that he knew he had been assigned for like 2 days, so we put that in as static and it worked.

Although, in about 2 days, he's gonna have to redo the entry. Hummmmm..

That is what I have to do now. Funny thing is, I've had the same ip for about a week now.
