hi
i need to conect my desktop with my laptop. My computers are conected
directly via (crossed) ethernet cable. On both machines the ethernet
interface is eth0. I don't want to share an internet connection. Both
computers connect to the internet via dial up (through ppp0). I want to
make a connection in order to use some usual application like ssh and ftp.
I would also need some help on making the "/home/userid" available as
mounting point with lvm.
I am running a firewall on both pcs (on ppp0) and i don't want to run it on
eth0 as well. Can this create any conectivity problems?
I tried to setup the network by explicitely defining a static ip on each
machine (with subnet mask 255.255.255.255) but when i was trying to test
the network with an ftp command it either tried to resolve the host in the
internet or it was ftping the localhost.
PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAASE help

I am running SuSE linux 8.2 pro and i am using yast2 if it's any helpful.
