pix 515E cannot ping or assign DHCP addresses to the inside clients

I have a PIX 515E that I want to use to as a border between my internet connection and my Cisco AIR1131AG.  I have configured the PIX to have the outside interface as a dhcp client which gets its dynamic IP address from the cable modem. the AP is connected to the E1 inside interface. Now I could see the E1 interface from the arp table from the AP but I cannot ping it. From the firewall I don't see the ARP  table  from the firewall. and i cannot ping the AP. what is wrong with the configuration? side note, i am able to connect to the AIR1131AG from my laptop I was not able to retrieve an IP address.

i believe you will need a crossover cable to connect AP and PIX

i believe you will need a crossover cable to connect AP and PIX

okay then since my cable modem service is not connected yet, am I to assume that the E0 outside interface to the cable modem is also a straight or cross?

your cable modem is probably auto-mdix, so it won't matter if you use straight through or cross over cable.
