I have att in columbia heights and mine quit working this morning. I have noticed a lot of traffic across my modem even when the interface is down. I am running the dhclient and it still can't get an ip. Any thoughts on why? I am running on dial backup, very painful.

Among other things, this means they're mucking about with DHCP stuff. If you're using pump (RedHat and Mandrake out of the box), visit http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/DHCP/ and download the latest version of dhcpcd (dhcpcd-1.3.22-pl1.tar.gz), and then build and install it. Noting that it installs in /usr/local/sbin/dhcpcd, you then need to change /sbin/ifup and /sbin/ifdown as per the changes listed in section 3.7 of the web page.
