works !!!
Hi Robert,

Congratulations!!!
It's easy, isn't it?

No. Kenneth on this list learned me about the command ip a which is not
mentioned in O'Reilly's Nutshell or the SuSE manual. Ch 21, Basic
Networking in the Reference documentation should include info about how
to find unknown IP addresses of computers in a LAN.

well, Kenneth's command works but I think, the more usual command for
this is:
/sbin/ifconfig
This is surely documented in the Nutshell. And it is easy, I memorize it
as i(NTER)f(ACE)config(URATION)

If you are root, a simple "ifconfig" works, as an ordinary user, you
need /sbin/ifconfig

but only after tearing down the firewall
on machine fam, I assume?
That is ok, if your internet router acts as a firewall for your local
network.

It is a Speedtouch ADSL modem. Don't know about firewall capabilities.

At least something is giving you the 192.168.x.x ip Adresses. If they
come from your Speedtouch and it converts them to "real" Internet
Adresses, this acts in fact as a router.


If you feel better enabling the firewall on fam, you need to
allow ssh traffic on port 22 as has already been said in another
mail. You can do that easily with yast on machine fam.

No. I can't find it in YaST2 / Security and Users / Firewall.


Yes, you can: ;-)

Yast2 / Security and Users / Firewall / Allowed Services (for External
Zone) / Service to allow / choose SSH from the List / klick on Add

And: you are done!!

In case that there are more problems that you encounter or you have more
questions, just do not hesitate to ask.

This list has only one sole reason for existence: It is here to help
people achieve what they are heading for!!!

And Linux may not be easy, especially when you are beginning to explore
it, but chances are, you will never ever regret it.

kind regards
Eberhard
