Okay, so I swapped out pump for dhclient, and I still get nothing!
I've set the eth1 address to 192.168.100.5, and set the route up:

    route add -net 192.168.100.0 gw 192.168.100.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth1

and still can't ping anything.

I called comcast, and they're sending out a tech "with all the tools" 
to "diagnose" the problem...

I'm wondering if might really be a modem problem?!

	It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
