Have you allowed icmp from yast2 when enabling the firewall? wade G.

The dhcp server will run and issue ip info to my test boxes. but when i turn on the firewall the dhcp server can't issue anymore leases. I've tried configuring the firewall with yast2 and editing /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall script all to know avial. Any info would be thankful. Clyde
