Ok, thank you, that worked. I had a bad feeling about it when I was told to take lines out of my sources.list but at the time I was having problems with duplicate entries so I took the person's advice. I was missing about 15 packages that needed to be upgraded, and dhcpcd is available. Haven't installed it yet because pump will be removed. Would somebody mind explaining to me if there is something I have to do with the config file for this package when I install it. With dhcp-client I gave up because I read the man page and still didn't understand what specifically I needed to modify and how; maybe the dhcpcd man page will be more understandable to me, and I'm certainly going to read it, but any help would be appreciated. If everybody's getting tired of this topic on list, I don't mind if people respond privately. Thanks. Cheryl
