You may have to punch holes for ssh on firewalls at both ends. 2. ssh is not in the default install of cygwin. 3. I use sftp to copy both ways, if all I need to do is to copy. 4. my router dhcp client table tells me where machines are at the moment. 5. it's a tad easier if you use the same client name on both ends.
