Not getting a WAN IP address from Cox Cable
«

Connecting my OPNsense router to the Cox cable modem and can never get an IP address on the WAN side. I do get one to a computer connected to the OPNsense LAN port. I have tried rebooting the modem while OPNsense connected, restarting OPNsense while the modem is up and restarting them both. Never able to get an address.
If I connect the OPNsense WAN port to an internal LAN port, I do get an address via DHCP (192.168.0.x) and the LAN sets up as 192.168.1.x.
This was not a problem with pfsense on the same box or with my current ASUS router. What am I missing? I would welcome any suggestions.
Thanks!

How many ports on OPNsense ? Did you try connecting the WAN cable to those ports and see if you get an IP ?

4 ports. Tried the possible ports and as I wrote above, when I connect the WAN port to an internal LAN, I do get a normal LAN IP address. However, when I connect the same port to a cable modem, I get nothing.
