>From the BasicLinux computer do this:
------------------
ping 192.168.2.100
------------------
If ping works, then try transfering a file from
the Suse computer using wget or send/receive.
(For wget to work, the Suse computer must be
running an http or ftp server.)  

BTW, if the above works, you might like to put the 
Suse address in /etc/hosts (on the BL computer)
---------------------
192.168.2.100    Suse
---------------------
Then you will be able to "ping Suse" and so on.

Cheers,
Steven
