My PIX 501 is set to factory default settings in a simple network consisting of 1 laptop connected to the ethernet port via straight cable, but it will not assign a dynampic IP to the laptop. sh int shows that "Line protocol is down" on the inside ethernet (ethernet1). I have followed every configuration guide on the net and gotten nowhere. Everything else seems to work fine except internal DHCP.
Somebody help! Before my client punches me in the face because their archaic hardware is difficult to troubleshoot!
Thanks!
