Hello, I'm preparing a workshop for OSC-15 Not knowing what will be the networks up there, I want to setup my own private access point to share files with participants. For test purpose, I simply use a wifi device on my main desktop, always connected with ethernet cable. The final will be done on my laptop with a spare usb wifi device. I created an "osc15-jdd" user with simple password for sharing. To make things simple, I try to simply use the network manager. right now the config is dawn simple: open the network applet, choose the tools icon, add a connection.. then I have options I'm not sure to understand. I have in the menu (among others): wifi, shared wifi, then virtual and vpn. as first try, I used "shared wifi". What I get is a public AP natting users to the net without any other config. From a client (just now my laptop) I can access the net (I just did an update on the laptop with this connexion), but not connect to the main. I can ping the main computer (local address 10.42.0.1), but not ssh on it. remember I didn't yet restart anything (not even sshd). This result is not the one I seek for. I don't care about internet and only want clients to be able to connect to the user osc15-jdd on my computer, with ssh or dolphin/fish is ideal. what is the simpler way to do this? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
