External Facing NIC won't grab IP from Comcast Modem

"She doesnt know who you are, Brah!"

- hospital receptionist guy, '50 First Dates'

Whats up guys. Im trying to install Astaro as virtual firewall for the home office, (running as a Guest in ESXi, Server has 2 NIC's) and im unable to get the external NIC to resolve the usual IP that comcast has assigned to me ( not static but has been the same for years). Im stuck between it still showing a gateway of the class C private ip addressing scheme at 192.168.1.1 or some other new ip in the 98.x.x.x range that i cant seem to route any further.

Suggestion?

Any updates to this? I just built a Micro-itx home Astaro and it cannot pull an IP from my Comcast modem (Surfboard). I read somewhere that it might be a issue with the GB NIC drivers in the latest version of Astaro. Might have to downgrade and see but any updates on your progress is appreciated.

Mine was a virtual machine issue.....for yours unplug all cables from the cable modem and let it sit for at least two minutes.....then reattach everything and give it time to stabilize...this will reset the cmts mac lock that cmodem providers do.

On a further note. 902 fixed my particular issues
