Does your firewall require authentication? There is known issue with proxy definition. I do not remember issue number, but the workaround is to edit manually /etc/sysconfig/proxy after defining proxy in YaST. E.g. if YAST created line HTTP_PROXY="http://proxy.provider.com:port/";, you should change it to HTTP_PROXY="http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/". Do the same for HTTPS_PROXY and FTP_PROXY.
