Steps to reproduce
1. Remove ALL DNS Services offered by your test Modem/Router ALL of them for
your Test Isolated LAN.
2. Start a NEW NFS Install, I assume your NFS Server has a static address and
configured IP's for your DNS Servers.
3. Make sure you re-boot NFS Client to remove any pre-existing information that
may have been input via the text NFS Installation
3. After you start the GUI NFS Installation you will be prompted for the NFS
Server IP and Exported Directory - Do That.
4. The GUI NFS will then fail as it cannot be allotted an IP or DNS Servers of
its own.
You can confirm this is a DHCP time out if you escape the NFS GUI Splash
screen.
Many Many LANs do NOT offer any DNS Services for good reasons and to assume
they are present in every installation we do is just presumptuous folly.
