Root control to Major Tom... OOps, sorry, getting distracted.

I have a somwhat odd situation with the SuSE resident firewall (and/or
perhaps the Yast tool that configures it).

I run a few servers on my system, including DHCP, DNS, Samba. I
configured the firewall to allow access to these, and for a while all
was well. Recently, however, DHCP "just stopped." I traced the problem
to the firewall blocking the DHCP port. I've tried restarting the
firewall, and a number of other ways to kick it from Yast, but the only
way my DHCP works right now is if I turn the firewall off.

Any suggestions? Should I resort to manual (file-based) configuration,
and if so, where do I start finding out how to do that?

TIA
Cheers,
Simon
