   You need to tell both boxes where to find the other, easiest for just two
boxes is to edit /etc/hosts or otherwise set up DNS. You also need to set up
access rules. The normal method is to block everything using /etc/hosts/deny
then allow only what you wish in /etc/hosts/allow which is seen first. See
man access
