I'm guessing that your provider simply setup their DHCP server to always
give your MAC address the same IP.  If that is the case then you should
be able to configure your machine with that IP as a static entry.  This
is how my setup works.

guessing that since your machine is using DHCP your system could not
renew its lease and thus lost its IP.  It could not renew due to your
firewall setup.  Just a guess.

By default you'll find IPChains specific entries in /var/log/messages.
