My keep alive was already set at the minimal interval of 1 minute. I checked this all again and added the address 8.8.8.8, and google.com to ping.

So I then uplug the firewall and plug in my laptop. The port comes back up and I can pull another DHCP address from Verizon and surf the net without issue. Why does this seem to be happening with wan ports on routing devices?
There are a lot of post here in this forum of people having similiar issues across multiple devices.

Please make sure you connect your sonicwall to the LAN port of the LM1200. The WAN port on LM1200 is for connecting your home broadband.
