Hi,
are You sure it was not a Firewall issue on the Suse 10.2?
If there are any connections from the Gentoo machine trying to access the 
orted on the Suse, check in /var/log/firewall.

For the time being, try stopping the firewall by (as root) with
/etc/init.d/SuSEfirewall2_setup stop
and test whether it works ,-]

With best regards,
Rainer
