I had problems with pump a while back - ended up using dhcpcd instead which I 
have been much happier with

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/DHCP/x74.html

IIRC what happened with pump was that everything worked at first - but when 
the lease expired - so did my connection!

I could get it back again by restarting the connection - but this is annoying 
to say the least

do you have a cron job prodding pump to do its job every now and again ?
