Thanks.

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??

Thanks again,
Rodolfo
