The answer should have been staring me in the face - ping [name of son's
desktop] was working but actually returning the address of somebody
outside!
Now, I think I may know what happened here - I think I may have upgraded
my desktop from Hardy to Maverick with a fresh HDD since the last rsync
to my son's desktop was run. The stuff I needed to restore also gets
backed up to the server, which is where I think I restored it from, so,
SILLY ME
I hadn't put the son's computer back into /etc/hosts!
Thanks Colin for your suggestions they helped me get it sorted out.
