DHCP Client on PIX 501

I am trying to connect a PIX 501 to our ISP (Cable service). I am unable to get a DHCP address fro the ISP, but DHCP works fine on a WIndows network (I plug the PIX into a port on the private network and I get an address from the Win2K DHCP server without a problem).

What am I overlooking? I tried different cable modems (both Motorola) with the same results. I also tried all of the other fixes (including cables, different hubs & switches, etc...)

PIX software v. 6.1 with 3DES encryption.

Thanks

JK

You need to use PPPoE on the outside interface. PPPoE support is available in PIX software version 6.2, recently released.
