Help with VLANs

I have a DELL PowerConnect 2824.

I am attempting to set up VLANS and use the switch with a router-on-a-stick configuration.

My pfsense router has one NIC with 2 VLANs; VLAN5(WAN) and VLAN55(LAN)

On the DELL 2824 I created 2 VLANS, VLAN5(WAN) and VLAN55(LAN)

VLAN5 has 2 ports 1 and 7. Port 1 is Untagged and port 7 is Tagged. Ports 2,3,4,5,6,and 8 are not used. Ports 1-7 have PVID of 5.

VLAN55 has ports 9-23, all Untagged and port 7 is Tagged. Ports 9-23 have PVID of 55.

I can communicate with the pfsense LAN connection on 7 from any port 2-23.

When I connect my cable modem to port 1 and the pfsense router to port 7 I do not get an IP from DHCP from the cable company. 

I'm sure there is some setting on the 2824 I am missing. I can connect everything to a Netgear managed switch withe the same configuration and everything works fine. 

Your help would be appreciated.

The PF box is a notebook with only one NIC(router-on-a-stick).

Port 7 is Tagged in VLAN5 and VLAN55. PVID is 5.

On PF box VLAN5 is defined as WAN with Dynamic IP, gets IP from the cable modem.

On PF box VLAN55 is defined as LAN with static IP. 

This is the configuration that worked/is working on the Netgear.

On DELL switch;

VLAN5 - port 1 Untagged, port 7 Tagged. PVID 5

VLAN55 - port 7 Tagged, ports 9-23 Untagged. PVID 55(9-23)

PF box does not configure Tagged or Untagged. It only allows for creating VLANS and assigning those VLANS to WAN or LAN. 

I ran show tech on the DELL 2824 and I see a couple of things that don't appear correct. I configured via the web interface and that may be part of the issue. I won't post all of the show tech results unless you feel you need them.
