When Novell will stop giving non-answers it will be a nice day.
The rule quoted there effectively opens your whole firewall.
What is the point?

I think for that issue it would be nice to have Network Manager extended. +: having different RuleSets of Ports being allowed and disallowed. I could bind them to the SSID of a WLAN for example. Of course much more difficult to distinguish between different wired networks. Mazbe a similiar tool to NM just for the FW? Sitting in the tray and showing different Firewall Rulesets? There are other use cases with similiar problems like this. Samba is one tool creating a BroadCast to find some services; Frozen Bubble for example goes the same direction if you want to create a LAN Play. Users have to fiddle with their FireWall configurations (or shut it down). So I think there MIG+HT be some additional work required... most likely nothing trivial to not open na huge whole.
