Once you know this number you can do your *first* login as root to the Alix via ssh xxx.xxx.x.x After the first login you can then setup a normal user account and its password user via the adduser command.
Yes my router does that. It starts at 192.168.1.2. I have fixed the IP address of the debian PC at 192.168.1.20 and would like to do the same for the Alix board (for example to 192.168.1.30) in order to always have the same addresses for the machines. This might simplify some things.

I will now try the login via the root user account on the Alix via ssh.
