I am attempting without any success to make use of my home network.
The network is provided by my BT Home Hub Router which allows connection by ethernet cable and wifi.
On the network I currently have a desktop PC (ethernet connection), a Laptop( wifi connection), and an Apple Ipad 1 (wifi connection), all all are able to connect to the internet without any problem.
I should like to be able to able exchange files, pictures, and stream video and music between the three machines but primarily from the desktop to the other two.
I have attempted using Filezilla on desktop and laptop and a linked app on the Ipad but am unable to get a connection between any of the machines apart from one unrepeated connection between laptop and desktop.
Can any one suggest where the problem may be?
Does the router's built in firewall normally exercise any control over communication within its home network?
Could the problem lie in the configuration of the dektop running 12.2 which I set after consulting the OpenSuSE online documentation as follows:
Network Card RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller MAC : 40:61:86:2e:10:05
BusID : 0000:02:00.0
- Device Name: eth0
- Started automatically at boot
- IP address assigned using DHCP
Firewall Firewall Starting - Enable firewall automatic starting
- Firewall starts after the configuration gets written
Internal Zone - No interfaces assigned to this zone.
Demilitarized Zone - No interfaces assigned to this zone.
External Zone Interfaces - RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller / eth0
Open Services, Ports, and Protocols - DHCPv4 Server
- vsftpd Server
- xdmcp
- TCP Ports: 21:22, 8080, http
- UDP Ports: 8080
Can any one see anything wrong or missing?
I have posted the same basic query in the multimedia section but all I have had are suggestions for different multimedia programs which, I think, are unlikely to address the basic communication problem.
All help gratefully received.
