DHCP will work, but you will have to set it to manual, and also set fw-1
service to manual.
After you start the fw, immediately start the dhcp service, validate te
address with ipconfig /all, then begin the firewall service.
If the external address changes, edit the firewall object and reinstall the
policy.
I have done this successfully on several boxes.
Let me know if you have issues.

Subject: [FW1] New Install Help
Good Evening, All
I am in need of some basic help.
I have set up a firewall box. It has two nics in it. One connects to the
internal lan, and one connects to a cable modem that provides our internet
feed. We must use DHCP on the cable modem NIC to pull an IP.
With NT4 installed, I am able to see the internal lan just fine, and I'm
able to access the internet just fine. As soon as I install FW-1 4.0 SP7
(without even creating a policy) I immediately lose access to the internet
on the box. We set the license up for our internal lan IP, since we obvious
don't have a permanent one on the cable feed. Is that alright? As I said
though, as soon as the install is done, upon reboot we are no longer able to
acquire an IP on the cable modem NIC. If I uninstall FW-1, it pulls the IP
and then works just fine. What do I need to do to work around this?
Thanks for the help all.
