Just recently, yesterday, verizon went off line for a while. Anyway, when they came back online I couldn't get the dhclient to grab an address, both cards could talk to the internal if I switched around the config settings to swap the cards but no matter what, I couldn't get an address through dhclient. After disabling the firewall, which has worked fine since versions 6.3, I was able to grab an address without any problems, re-enabling the firewall and restarting again would again nolonger grab an address with dhclient. The only work around I can come up with is to disable the firewall, restart the computer (which then grabs an address) then re-enable the firewall and manually start it. Does anyone have any similar problems, any ideas what could be causing a perfectly working firewall/router to all of a sudden cease working properly on boot up?
