I know. I have no idea why that shows up.

Already did. It does. 10.0.2.2 is pingable, at least.

The client is definitely using (and expecting) DHCP, not BOOTP. Oddly enough,
it gets a timeout error. Very strange.

I tried to test out pump under tomsbrt but it refused to work; I'm too lazy to
attempt recompile a real dhcp client under a floppy linux. Since the pump binary
that I was using works under the redhat distro that it came from, I'm guessing
that its a bug in the LUA client. Will investigate further.
