I use dhclient from woody.  The only problem I've ever had in getting
a lease is when I don't send what comcast/@HOME expects to be my
hostname (something like: cn337391-v).  Ohh, there is another thing,
I've never gotten pump to work with comcast.  Try one of the other
dhcp implimentations for your system.
