I am trying to get the router working correctly first. My issue is that my box will not receive an IP address from Comcast when the dhclient starts. I commented out all of the firewall commands in my rc.conf file, but left the ifconfig_ep0="DHCP". The machine is running 2 NIC's and I have verified that the correct one has the cable plugged into it. I am running release 5.2.1.
