Sam,

Here is what I've seen working on an 806 connected to AT&T cable service:

hostname cisco806

interface Ethernet1
  description CABLE_MODEM
  ip address dhcp client-id Ethernet1 hostname cisco806
  ip nat outside

The trick is the hostname tag... For some reason, AT&T's DHCP doesn't work
without it.
