I took all the wires loose from the cable modem and looked it over good. I
could not find any reset button. However, since everything has been off for
several hours, when I plugged it all back in and turned on the firewall, it
got an address immediately. So my problem is fixed, but I don't know how.
I guess it was something with Comcast.

Try doing a cold reset of your cable modem. On mine, you hold down the
reset button in the back while plugging it in. On some providers, you
need to do that so it picks up a new "authorized" MAC address.
