Some months ago I managed to connect my Hyundai and Acer laptops with an
ethernet cable. I can copy file from one PC to another with rsync. The file
`/etc/network/interfaces' is edited on the Acer as follows:
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 on the Hyundai:
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
Now, I want to connect the Hyundai with an old desktop PC. How do I know how
to properly edit the same file? I tried with eth0, eth1, 192.168.0.3, etc...,
but they don't connect:
$ rsync -vrtul --delete u 192.168.0.2:/home/rodolfo
ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.2 port 22: No route to host
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(453) [sender=2.6.9]
Please help on this issue.
Thanks
Rodolfo
From laptop to "old" desktop you need to use a cross network cable, the
two laptops are new and can auto detect the cable type used but not the
old pc.
Get a cross cable or connect through a hub or switch.
