    I changed /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp DHCLIENT_SET_HOSTNAME from "yes"
    to "no" and now I can get the IP from the ISP DHCP server without
    problems.

    Just because im curious, in what way can that setting make the DHCP
    client not get an IP, and *only* when the firewall is active?

    Should I report this as a bug to the maker of dhcpcd or is it a SuSE
    bug, or maybe it isn't a bug at all?
