Are you trying to connect them to transfer files, etc? You could use SSH/SFTP.

Make sure SSH is installed, you can do this through apt-get, or synaptic package manager.

Then, you can simply log into the computer: >ssh user@10.0.0.2 (or other ip)
If you wanted to run applications remotely, use -X option

For file transfer, >sftp user@10.0.0.2 (or other ip)

Hope this helps.

Thnx Rendered.....!

i'll try it but is there any other way.

Actually, i have to establish a small office network or 8 pcs. 1st i got success in this then i'll try for more PC.

And my boss said that- try to make connection without any package n dont use GUI, do only on command line.

so.... is there any othere way,,,,,,

SSH and FTP can both be done from the command line. You can also use NFS. Network File System (NFS) Configuration in Debian. Or Samba: Samba Server Configuration in Debian

EDIT: Without any package?? That doesn't make any sense. If you don't have the tools installed, how would you do it?

you should configure the network interface cards on debian using the /etc/network/interfaces file, there should be a man page on it to get the syntax, you can do it via command line
