fire up Konqueror and in the url line type:
fish://IP-of-that-other-machine-on-your-local-net.

Both machines have the same IP 127.0.0.2 according to /etc/hosts
The HOSTNAMEs are different, rwb.site and fam.site
fish://127.0.0.2 gives my own machine rwb.site
fish://fam.site gives error, cannot connect

Any 127.x.x.x is your local computer.  It is not another computer
across the network.  There has to be some other address.  A lot of
people running behind firewalls use 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x.  If
you're connected to the internet, there has to be some other address
used, beyond 127.0.0.2.

Use ip a to see what address your eth interface is using.

rwb:~> ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,10000> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
......
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,NOTRAILERS,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc
......
inet 192.168.1.65/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth0
......

fam:~> ip a
......
inet 192.168.1.64/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth0
with 64 instead of 65.

rwb:~> ping 192.168.1.64
sends and receives packets

fish://192.168.1.64
works !!!
but only after tearing down the firewall
fam:~> SuSEfirewall2 stop
