I've upgraded shorewall to the latest version and created a startup log 
as suggested.
I've currently stopped the firewall restarts as the dynamic ip address 
won't be used for about the next 6 months.
It also helps to verify that it is a firewall related problem(Although I 
am reasonably sure of this.)
In 6 months time I may have to come up with another solution.
