My firewall is connected directly to a broadband gateway (Fibre converter).
I'll try to turn both devices off like you suggest, but like I said before -

when I connect directly with my workstation - the machine is given an
IP-Address. 
I don't think my ISP's DHCP server is causing it.....

What is your physical connection to the internet gateway ?
Are you putting the fw behind a cable modem?
If it is a cable modem:
1. turn modem off and m0n0wall off.
2. Turn CM "ON' and wait for ~2minutes
3. Then turn m0n0wall 'ON'
