    Hi Again,

    New info: I went to YAST2 >Security and Users>Firewall and turned off the
    firewall and removed it from the bootup. YAST turned the firewall off and the
    system now gets to the network and internet via it's new DHCP assigned
    IPaddr. So how can I get the firewall to run with this new IPAddr? The only
    thing that changed in this situation is that the DHCP Server issues this
    machine a different IPAddr than before. This feels suspiciously like a BUG;
    is it not reasonable to expect off-board DHCP servers to issue different
    IPAddrs from time to time?
    Ideas? Info? RTF (pls specify correct)M! ..........PeterB
