On the fam.site machine, can you run the following command in a console: netstat -tulp | grep ssh You should see something like this: tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 3696/sshd If you don't it's because the ssh daemon isn't running so there is not port for the SSH client to connect to. It's normally port 22, but that can be changed. If nothing show up in the output, the ssh daemon isn't running, so it should be started with rcsshd start > > Check that the firewall on that other machine is open for traffic on > > port 22 (YaST). A temporary, troubleshooting check would be to run: SuSEfirewall2 stop with that exact command (it is case sensitive) to unload the firewalls rules while we tfind the problem. If Konq can then connect using the fish:// protocol, we can configure the firewall rules to allow access.
