Your default policy when the firewall is brought up is probably blocking the DHCP answer from the cable modem. You may have to "fw unload localhost", create a policy that allows the traffic, and push the policy to the firewall. Then you may be able to get a DHCP address.

Uninstalling firewall, all is fine again. what is the problem. Firewall-1 version 4.0 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
