That is sad, but there is a very wacky part of the problem I think.

Is because I have not fullfilled the /etc/hosts file completely, but is
normally not a problem.

You unfortunately are quite right. I also tried it with scp and ssh.
Also that -scp- is what WinScp does, and are unable to do.

Lots of time checked :-). Please have a look at

I'm writing this on the ok susebox, so I cannot see if xinetd is enabled
or not. I'll try to see it later on today. But I'm absolutely not sure

For Dave and for Hans: I did a startup using the Knoppix cd. I could set
up the network ok, and all worked nice both ways.
