      Howdy.

      First off, I'd like to say I am a new pfSense user and am experimenting with it to replace my old dlink router with something more stable and more powerful. Current setup is Cable modem -> realtek integrated NIC (on pfSense desktop), linksys NIC -> dlink wireless router (trying to use this just as a switch) -> desktop pc.

      I am able to view the GUI but as a WAN IP it has listed 0.0.0.0 which means it isn't pulling an IP from my cable ISP. I've searched a bit in these forums for a solution but so far nothing has been able to remedy this. I've spoofed my WAN MAC Address on pfSense to match what my old dlink GUI says is its WAN MAC address hoping this would fix the problem but to no avail. My ISP does require the MAC address to be registered but I'd rather not go through the hassle of calling them and spoofing the old MAC should've done the trick, right?

      I'm using 1.2.3 RC1 pfSense. Thanks.
