Yes, I know.

You only need to install ssh server on the debian pc to allow remote logins to the desktop pc. Please change RootLogin back to "no"; that is a *big* security risk.

Actually, with "debian pc" I understand my desktop pc. I changed the RootLogin back to "no" and restarted ssh.

Did you reboot your Alix after you made that change?

I'm not quite sure. I will do it now.

Is you cable plugged into the jack closest to the power connector?

Do you mean the Ethernet cable ? No, the Ethernet cable was on the opposite side. I changed it to the one near the power connector.

When rebooting your Alix board keep an eye on the LED's where the LAN cable is plugged in. You should it see it a series of rapid blinks approximately 10-30 seconds after rebooting the board.

Ok, yes I see these blinks. I guess this indicates the end of the booting and communication with the router.

Install nmap on your dektop: apt-get install nmap
Issue the command nmap -sP 192.168.1.*
You should get a list of machines that are up and running. My Alix shows up as:
Host alix2 (192.168.1.17) appears to be up.
MAC Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 (PC Engines GmbH)

I installed it and yes the Alix board is there, its IP address is 192.168.1.2, as expected.
I pinged it and it works.
I ssh'ed to the Alix board and now I'm in there.
You are amazing and your help is worth a lot. I already owe you some beers ;-).
