Addendum: This usually happens if one cloned a Linux system from one host to another, or if one exchanged Ethernet cards, or if one changes MAC addresses. Since you worte about reconfigure, you already had a configuration for eth0, and you could fall under one of these cases. That files holds a record of all previously configured Ethernet devices, and maps MAC addresses to device names.

Errm, it depends how you're using rsync and how the firewall is set up. First, rsync can run in two ways: (1) using an external transport, normally ssh (2) using an 'rsync daemon', rsyncd For the first method, setup is just the same as for ssh. For the second, it depends on what port you've configured rsyncd to run with (873 is default). That port needs to be open. In both cases, what setup is required will depend on what firewall on what version of the OS is being run and how rsync is installed (via yast or from a tarball etc etc) So a bit more info is needed to give a precise answer, but the Suse and/or rsync docs are pretty comprehensive.

If you only have a few computers,
you could work with fixed MAC / IP Settings in your dhcpd.conf file

and then leave out your windows box.
On a side note:
If the windows box is on the same network but you do not want it to get

your dhcp range and your problem with limiting the dhcp server will be gone.

Wolfgang Rosenauer wrote: I'm no user of jabberd so I don't care to much in that special case. The issue I see with such things (dropping from distribution and maintaining in buildservice only) is a quality one. Generally a package from the official distribution is trusted because it maintains a certain quality standard (in most cases) because it is (should be) more tested from Novell and the community in theory while that might be not true for every single package. There are for sure packages in the buildservice which meet the same quality standard and testing level but at the moment there is no way to know that for the normal user. I agree however, having some fast evolving project in distribution may also be very painfull and time-demanding as we have to provide (i.e. backport) security bugfixes for product lifetime (currently 2y for OpenSuSE) - not that I strictly refuse want to do that, yet it's an add-on which isn't used very often.
