I hang my head in shame! :-( All that was needed was the installation of openssh-server and a better memory on my part. (I had intended to change from the default Debian choice of DHCP - and thought that I had done so.) Not mention reading the output before I post it. Thanks Jochem for solving the problem, Camaleón for spotting my error over IPs and all of you, including Frank and shawn, for your remarkable patience. I am truly contrite about the noise. :-( An exam is involved in this - I need ot be able to access one machine from another, and I always panic about exams. :-( Yes, it is remarkably stupid to be panicking at my age about an exam whose result really doesn't matter in the great scheme of things, but my irrational self still wins. :-( I apologise profusely.
