Thanks Anders Yes I can ping each machine. I would just like to be able to access my home directory on one machine from the other - mainly for backing up and file-sharing purposes. I'm afraid I don't know what services to configure and whether I need to edit certain files, such as /etc/hosts Do I need to set up specific host names and a domain, for example. What do I put in /etc/hosts if the IP address changes at each connection? I've tried configuring lisa in the KDE control centre but I'm not making too much progress. Sorry if this is basic stuff - your help is appreciated. avid
