Thanks, Joe, Maybe a mix-up on terminalogy used.
I did restart firewall by invoking /etc/init.d/SuSEfirewall2_init restart and /etc/init.d/SuSEfirewall2_setup restart I shall have to wait until the next time the problem strikes again to see if I have nailed the problem. Did try before with chkstat -set /etc/permissions but that didn't help - so thought it was a firewall issue triggered by YOU updates. Thanks a lot.

For some reasons unknown to me (and since the fix was just as easy) this seems to flush the rules and works better than a restart. YMMV.
