    Hi,
      I just installed Fedora Core 3 on my laptop and I selected network
    support in installing. This laptop is basically used for me to try out
    Linux. I will not use this laptop to connect to any network, the only
    use of its ethernet connection is for me to transfer some big files to
    other machine. And I have some problem here.

      I use a crossover cable to connect this laptop to my PC which is on
    my employer network, this PC is running Windows XP. I have cygwin
    installed on the PC.

      I name the laptop IP address as 1.2.3.4 when i installed Fedora,
    obviously such address is not accessible from PC, so I run this command
    to add it to the routing table of PC,

    Route add 1.2.3.4 mask 255.255.255.255 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx metric 1 if 3

    "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is the PC gateway address.

    Now from PC I ping 1.2.3.4 good, this basically tells me that IP
    connection between PC and laptop through crossover cable is good.

    Then I think I can run rcp to copy files, so in cygwin I run this,
      rcp file_1 1.2.3.4.my_login_in_laptop:

    But what I get is:
      1.2.3.4:Connection refused

    I check the web and it seems i need to set up ~/.rhosts in laptop, but
    isn't true that it is only needed if I do not want to input password?
    Anyway, I created the file in laptop and its content is simply as,
      + +

    this is to trust anyone on any machine, right?

    But rcp still has the same problem, connection refused.

    Is there any simple way to set up for rcp to run? I prefer not to
    bother about those dauting services like domain name resolution, you
    can see that my application is only a copy over crossover cable.

    Thanks.
