I have a small network with four computers, connected to a router and declared in /etc/hosts as follows:

192.168.0.3 router # (Fritz Box) 192.168.0.16 acer # SuSE 11.4 192.168.0.15 toshiba # SuSE 10.1 192.168.0.13 yakumo # SuSE 11.2 192.168.0.14 sony # SuSE 9.1

Now, my most recent computer, "acer", running under SuSE 11.4, can be accessed by ping from any other computer in the network, but not by a browser, i.e. neither by kfmclient nor by Firefox nor by Opera.

I tried specifying both, the name "acer" and the IP number 192.168.0.16, but nothing helps. What can I do?

Thanks in advance for your help, Wolfgang Müller

You do realise it has to be running some kind of server (http, file, etc) for it to be useful in a file manager or browser, I hope? But you haven't specified what services you're trying to access.

The service is /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf. But dropping and restarting it did not help. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

SuseFirewall started by default?

Yes. At first I tried to reconfigure it in yast2, enabling html. But this did not solve my problem. So, I dropped SuSEfirewall2_init and SuSEfirewall2_setup, preventing them from being restarted at boot time. This helped. Thanks a lot, Dave, for your help!
