WAC104 - No internet, Secured

I honestly thought that was the first rule I created, and maybe I did and it just didn't save it, or maybe I didn't. I have no idea. All I know now is that I added the rule and now I have access to the internet.
I am still wondering how it was working when I first connected it. LOL
Thank you so much for all of your help. It is truly appreciated!!
All the best,

So I figured out the DHCP issue. I must not have saved the setting in the firewall when I originally set it up. I set it up identical to another setup in the firewall but when i double checked it the DHCP info was missing. So I fixed that and am now getting an IP address but still no internet.
I am going to see if I can take it home and see what's wrong with it.
Thank you for all your help and suggestions. Working on 40 things at once and trying to remember everything that's done.
Thanks,
