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
