After trying a few things that were suggested to me, I realised what the problem was. Without the DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT option my DHCP client couldn't re-lease the IP from my ISP's DHCP servers and presumably ended up using an invalid IP.. I've added the following firewall rules: # DHCP ${fwcmd} add pass tcp from any to ${oip} 67 setup ${fwcmd} add pass udp from any to ${oip} 67 ${fwcmd} add pass udp from ${oip} 67 to any ${fwcmd} add pass tcp from any to ${oip} 68 setup ${fwcmd} add pass udp from any to ${oip} 68 ${fwcmd} add pass udp from ${oip} 68 to any and removed the line ${fwcmd} add deny all from 0.0.0.0/8 to any via ${oif} which seems to have worked thus far.
