It's all in the manpage, but here you go: hyundai: allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.A.X netmask 255.255.255.0 acer: allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.A.Y netmask 255.255.255.0 A is a number in the range 0-255 and has to be the same on both computers. X and Y are numbers in the range 1-254 and have to be different. Are these two computers not connected to the internet?

As suggested, on hyundai I edited /etc/network/interfaces as follows: allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 , and on acer: allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 Then I rebooted the two pcs, connected with a crosslink cable, and from hyundai I did: $ rsync -vru --delete ssh://192.168.0.2/home/rodolfo/test1 /home/rodolfo/ but got error: ssh: ssh: Temporary failure in name resolution rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(453) [receiver=2.6.9] What did I miss??

Proper syntax from the rsync man page. You're telling rsync to connect to a host named "ssh". Try "192.168.0.2:/home/rodolfo/test1" instead. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson(a)georgeanelson.com> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It doesn't work either. I think that the two pcs don't see each other: also the command `ssh 192.168.0.2' produces nothing. Further help very much appreciated.
