It seems that you were right. In /etc/network/interfaces I replaced eth0 with eth1 and (some days after, when I got back home) it worked fine: now I can use rsync to copy data between the two pcs connected via an ethernet cable. Here's Hyundai's /etc/network/interfaces: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth1 allow-hotplug eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 , and here's Acer's /etc/network/interfaces: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface #auto lo #iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 >From Acer to Hyundai, I do: $ rsync -vr test 192.168.0.1:/home/rodolfo , and, from Hyundai to Acer: $ rsync -vr test 192.168.0.2:/home/rodolfo Thanks Rodolfo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
