Mac OS X does have a built in Firewall.
Go into system preferences, and then Sharing, then click on the 'Firewall' tab.
It will either say 'Firewall On' or 'Firewall Off'.
If it is on, turn it off, just click the 'Stop' button.

Let me rephrase that. Did you get the machine through normal retail channels?
As I pointed out earlier:
1) the OS X firewall is off by default (and I haven't heard of it interfering with DHCP requests which of course it shouldn't
)
2) I am worried about this workaround not surviving a restart.
