Maybe you added the rule to allow them after the rule that's blocking
them? The order of the firewall rules is important.

I think only dhcpcd changes dhcpcd-eth0.info.

The scripts are set up to try pump first (if it's available) then fall
back to dhcpcd, so if you remove pump ("rpm -e pump") then it should use
dhcpcd instead. I suspect you already have dhcpcd installed. Type "rpm
-q dhcpcd" to be sure. If you don't have it, then you would need to
install it.

I believe 123=ntp. The MAC address for all incoming packets is probably
that of your cable modem.
