A quickie....

fire up Konqueror and in the url line type:

fish://IP-of-that-other-machine-on-your-local-net.

Check that the firewall on that other machine is open for traffic on port 22 
(YaST).

Check that you can - from within a shell as any user - do:

ping IP-of-that-other-machine-on-your-local-net

escape from ping with ctrl-c.

If ping doesn't work, then your network is buggy.

If you don't want to type the "IP-of-that-other-machine-on-your-local-net" all 
the time, make an entry, as root, into /etc/hosts like this:

IP-of-that-other-machine-on-your-local-net      secondmachine 

i.e.:

192.168.0.3     secondmachine

then go:

fish://secondmachine




This should get you going, this list will give you 20+ others ways of doing 
the same thing :-)
