pump +eth0 configuration

[Moontears]

Hullo,

I have a trouble configuring my internet connection, I guess. This is my problem...

pump -i eth0 -h cr555555-a

The above command configures my internet connection but when I reboot, I have to retype this command every time. Shouldn't I only have to do this once?

Pump is just a dhcp client. It does not save network configuration information to any files. When you reboot or bring networking down, then back up, you would need to run pump again.

In most distros, if you set the NIC up to use dhcp, the scripts that bring networking up will use a dhcp client, either pump, dhcpcd or some other one.
If you can't use the canned scripts provided and you must run pump manually, you'll need to put the command in a startup script for it to run at boot up.
With most distros you can use the /etc/rc.d/rc.local script. to run commands at boot time.
