Hello Matt - you may want to consider a different dhcp client program
(or version) to use with Rogers.  Under RedHat (a while back) "pump"
didn't work for me, but dhcpcd did.  Under OpenBSD, ISC's dhclient v2
gave me problems but v3 worked great.  At any rate, see if there are any
alternatives to the one that LibraNet uses.  Why there were these
issues, I haven't the foggiest, but changing dhcp clients fixed them.

Assuming, of course, that I'm understanding your problem correctly -
cables are otherwise correctly plugged in, there aren't any local
outages in your area, etc.
