I think that you're getting a variation on the 'no route
to host' message. What's the netmask on the two machines?
(Even though, with the addresses only differing by two,
thats a stretch for my guess to be right!)
First, lets debug network connectivity:
Can you ping 104 from 102 and vice versa?
If not, what does traceroute say (both directions)?
Ok, so now we know that the network works. Here's what my
command line looks like:
rsync --times --update --verbose --compress --stats --exclude=\*~ --exclude=\*.o
\
--exclude=dummy_templates --exclude=core --exclude=pt --exclude=\*.ERR
--exclude \*.ciok \
--exclude=\*gz --exclude=ee9k \
* user@themachine:/the/path
(I've only slightly hacked the last line, removing identifying info ;-)
I'm not familiar with the "::" format of the rsync command line,
perhaps
someone else who is can step in and help with that.
