I have set up dhcp server and it works fine when the firewall is deactivated.  
I have for services allowed on that interface is dhcp, dns, ipp, ssh.  When 
activated I can ssh works fine but not the dhcp.

I've been configuring the firewall through yast although I have also tried 
configuring the SuSEfirewall2 script directly and through yast.  Nothing 
seems to make any difference.

When I first looked at this morning, I discovered that yast reported that all 
the ports were open on the firewall.  Trying to remove the services failed, 
so I uninstalled the firewall and deleted the script.  I've re-installed the 
firewall and now I can add and remove services successfully.  However, I 
still can't get the dhcp server to work through the firewall.  I've tried 
adjusting the log setting but that doesn't seem to respond I only get 
critical messages logged and that doesn't seem to include failed dhcp 
attempts.

Have I missed something?  Can anyone give me some advice as to what to try 
next or anyone have a similar experience and knows the solution.  Would be 
much grateful for any help.

Thanks

Eddie
