Hi Svobi,
I would fall under the category of lesser-hack and not expert, but
here is how I got rsync going between two computers connected by
TCP/IP:

You need to make sure there is connectivity between the two files
before you can sync them.
Here is a smb.conf file showing the absolute least restrictive
settings for samba:
