Is this supposed to happen?

The best thing to do is monitor all the bootp/dhcp traffic between the
ZenWalk and cable modem for that arbitrary time (use Wireshark and the
appropriate capture filter, namely "udp port 67 or udp port 68").  An
examination of the traces should make it obvious what the problem is.

Running ZenWalk 2.8 here. Installed and configured dhclient with no
problems, I can run it and connect to the Internet. I'm hooked up directely
to a cable modem, Comcast.
After some arbitrary period of time I lose my connection however, appears to
have something to do with lease renewal? If so how can I run dhclient and
stay connected? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Steve
