We tried hooking the modem up to the exact same port the router was using, restarted the modem, firewall and the NIC.
This won't work because you needed the inside router set to do one thing and the outside one set to do something else. When you removed the outside router, you needed to reconfigure the inside router to be the same as the outside before. It would not be expected to work with the configuration that was working previously.
In his case, the inside router (SonicWall) was set to DHCP, so it could pull an IP from Cox via the cable modem and should allow the SonicWall to get to the internet. Of course their remote monitoring software won't work because the IP of the SW changed.
No the inside router was pulling a DHCP address form the router that failed. Has nothing to do with Cox.

LOL - the ISP heard the work Firewall, didn't know what a router was and figured, welp must be the firewall. LOL
Handy trick, start calling the outside one the firewall and the inside one the router. Problem solved.

probably.
However now im more concered why they have a guy coming from next door to help. like scott said thats not a good thing to have.
Ive never met this guy, and the guys here are just as confused as I (we) seem to be because the main question is "why is he there if he isnt apart of the company? "He was supposed to call me back. Havent heard anything from him since 8 this morning.
Yeah, that's a mess right there. Random people from a random company putting random gear in and breaking the network? Ummm..... someone needs to rethink their support processes, lol.

I know that @WrCombs is screwed by existing policy and decisions, but every time he posts I just have to say WTF.

So I did some digging on who this guy was and what was going on here... He is the manager of the entiore building. its like a 3 in one stop shop mall type what ever. So its his building that he is working in.

I'm not sure that that makes it better, lol. And that might violate some laws if push came to shove. Minor, but there are ISP protection laws for multi-tenant buildings.
