ENDIAN Firewall - Setup post installation (No DHCP)

I went through the installation from the CD with no issues (well after I switched to the 2.2 RC 3 version as the 2.1.2 version would error out). It tells me to continue on to the https GUI page after rebooting to complete the setup. However now after (many) reboots, I cannot get any of my clients to get an IP much less get to the GUI page. I have logged into the shell and used IFCONFIG to identify the eth0 NIC and assign it the IP that I entered into the installation (since it didn't have an IP initially). I have then tried to get DHCPD to start up by filling out a config file for it but I can't get that to start at all and I still can't get any clients to negotiate an IP to complete the setup.

I've dug through the posts here and it seems like other people have had similiar issues but nothing seems to fully resolve anything to the point where I can get this running.

Thank you for any assistance!
