Mayhap one of you crazy kids can help me with it.

I have sygate personal firewall 5.0, and every few days my connection randomly cuts out, i have a cable connection which is dealt with via a magical box that also does the tv, wonders'll never cease. Anyways, as far as i can make out the reason for this cut off is the firewall blocking DHCP requests and as thus my ISP assumes im off the network and releases my IP, thusly leaving me buggered, i have to 'reboot' this magical box to get it to request a new IP, which is getting to be a pain in my ass (and no, i cant renew from the computer).

So, to allow these requests presumably i just setup a rule allowing all port 67 traffic ? or is it 68, i can never remember.
