as it turns out, the DHCP server within the Netgear RT328 does not respond properly for dhcpcd or pump to latch on to the offer, yet Win9x will. however, I run dhcpd on my home Linux server and pump grabs the ip info just fine (though I am manually running it with this setup, defined for work and manually run pump after logging in at home) I plan to configure the Linux server at work (as I'm the primary admin anyway) to run dhcpd. I hope to have a worry free setup after that's done.
