1. Call and verify they have the right cable modem mac address for your account.
2. Verify that when you plug your ethernet cable into the ports that they light up indicating connection.
3. Verify on your WAN page that you are set for DHCP.
4. Verify on the "Status/Services" page that the DHCP service is in deed running.
5. Start the modem first and then power up your pfSense box after the modem finishes syncing.
If you change devices on the modem you must power it down and restart it.
