I had the same issue with a 501 that I had. I couldn't get it to work via Time Warner and an associate tried on Comcast and had no luck. I have had success using a Cisco Router, but the PIX just wouldn't work. Something I did was to forge the mac address of the PIX with a linksys so that it would grab a DHCP address. I then swapped out the eq and hard coded the address. It worked for about an hour then it died.
With Time warner, the cable modem will see the DHCP reply that is sent to your device and add that to its mac/ip table. They have a private network between the cable modem and their eq, and use NAT translation at the cable modem itself. The cable modem ( at least in my area ) will only hold 2 MAC/IP address combo's so you might need to reset the cable modem To clear out its table. Would be curious if you have success or not, that way I can tell if it was just a local problem , or a Cisco PIX issue.
