I have the firewall on the linux box disabled, the problem is the firewall built into the dsl modem, it will not allow the ssh connection. Yikes! ... now we're getting somewhere...
Here is my recommend... send the dsl modem back (no I'm not kidding) and pick up a dsl modem at BestBuy, or CicuitCity, whatever; most dsl providers will allow the customer to opt for their own equipment. What is the modem's address? Your dsl modem (if it has a firewall) probably also has a web interface for configuration. Have your son access it from his browser using the address of the modem. He should be able to set a password and configure it from there. -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
