506E cable modem setup

I've just acquired a 506e I want to use it to connect to a cable modem, I'm new to this so would appreciate some help

I have managed to setup the DHCP server, when I do an ipconfig I can see an IP number in the range I.ve allocated.

When I do a show IP I can see the IP my ISP has automatically allocated me (this is DHCP too)

I can ping the 506E ok but I cannot seem to reach anything on the outside

I cannot access anything from by browser either.

I've obvously missed somethingm can anyone help.

Post up the config if you can ?
A PIX, out of the box, should allow anything from the inside to see the outside via PAT, unless you've added access-lists or want to do anything advanced.
Make sure you reboot all peripheral devices the PIX is connected to to clear out ARP caches, and ensure you interfaces on the PIX are set to 100full.

How do i reset it to the factory setting,  I've been changing settings. (I think I'm using version 6.1)

I'll have to get the config tomorrow as I've shut it down right now,  how do I show the config?

How does the PIX handle DNS?  I'm using a belkin wireless router currently and have to manually configure the DNS in my network connections.  DO i just use obtain IP/DNS automatically?

What should my connection settings be once I've reset the PIX? (I'm using XP)

John

MIT,
   are you connected to a qwest network....
If you are this will get a bit tricky
you will have to dual nat from the cable modem to the pix
then nat from the pix to the inside network....
Let me know if you are setting up on a qwest pppoa network
We may be able to get this going for you....

you don't have to have the pix pluged into the network to get the config
you can plug in the console cable (blue and flat) to the console
and using hyperterm get into the pix
once there type
en <enter>
then hit enter when the pix asks for a password
(assuming you havent changed the password)
If there is a password and you know it use it here
Then type
when you get the # prompt type
con t
then type
write term
This will give you a config....
Good Luck
Here's my config,  All I want to do is have one IP in the outside that my ISP provides via DHCP,
internally I have a network with 5 pc's I want to be able to access the net etc on each of the pc's, I'm happy either specifying IP's or obtaining them from the firewall.
