I just posted problem with IP Address for avoiding any confusion.

I am able to rcp on the same machine from same machine i.e. "rcp /my_file.txt knuth:/home/mohanlal/temp" works very well. In /home/mohanlal/.rhosts of knuth, I have given permission to knuth (the linux machine) and mohanlal (windows machine running cygwin). But from machine mohanlal "rcp.exe some_file knuth:/home/mohanlal/temp" doesn't work. Any other clue?
