This is a problem.  If those devices were turning on, then they should have 
been broadcasting some DHCP requests.  If everything is all plugged in, then 
you should have seen those packets on the eth1 interface.  

Your problem appears to be either:
A. They aren't asking for DHCP.
B. The switch isn't working and those packets aren't getting to your Myth box.
C. The firewall isn't as disabled as you think it is.
