That gives iptables-1.2.1a-37
Well there is iptables-1.2.1a-53 on my box for the kernel upgrade use SuSE kernel rpms to avoid problems and it is fairly simple
get the kernel from the ftp mirrors of SuSE in the update directory for your SuSE version
as root rpm -Uhv k_deflt.rpm (assuming you are using the default one to be sure rpm -q k_deflt should give you the installed version)
After that type
mk_initrd and type lilo Reboot and enjoy your new kernel
Ok I'll have a look at that.
/etc/init.d/SuSEfirewall2 test
my mistake it shoud be
/sbin/rcSuSEfirewall2 test or just rcSuSEfirewall2 test
Ok that works.

try the firewall part before upgrading the kernel if it is going to make you happier and next time before you hit the reply button check that my email is not listed in _To:_ or _CC:_ parts as being a list member I normaly get the mails very fast :-)
Sorry if that is annoying you, but the instructions from the Suse faq are to reply to all, which is contrary to other lists I use. I have removed your address from this one, so I hope you get it. Regards, David
