or even better, by someone who actually seems to know what their doing (elsewhere on these forums)

create the following rule to sort out DHCP

FireWall->Advanced->Network Security Policy->Add->Add
Action: Allow
Protocol: UDP (select from the pull-down list)
Direction: In/Out
Description: DHCP rule
Source Address: any
Destination Address: single IP: 255.255.255.255
Source Port: port range: 67-68
Destination Port: port range: 67-68
