PIX 525 ASA not allowing DHCP addresses to pass through to router

Hello,

I currently have a Cisco PIX 525 firewall running version 7.0(1) and ASDM 5.0(4). It is running in transparent mode, and it is connected​
between my Time Warner Cable [TWC] modem and F0/0 on my Cisco 3660 router. When I reload the router, the router cannot obtain the DHCP IP address from TWC. I have to disconnect the LAN cable from the PIX outside interface and connect it directly to the F0/0 on the router, allow the DHCP address to be obtained, and then reconnect the TWC modem back to the outside interface. About every 24 hours, I have to continue to the same process when the router's DHCP lease ends. I know there are other ways around it (ie. configuring the PIX in router mode, getting rid of the PIX and using the firewall ability in the router's IOS), but this is the hardware configuration I would like to use. I am unfamiliar with setting up a PIX / Firewall, and I would like to use this as one of my many learning experiences. (This was posted in the router page, but I was informed it belonged here.) I was informed that this is not possible in transparent mode.

What PIX IOS command sequence, or ASDM configuration screen(s) settings, would I use to allow DHCP IP and DNS requests and​
addresses to pass through to the inside interface and ultimately the router? Could I get a sample configuration?

Thanks,
