I should add, none of the systems I'm working with have the firewall enabled.   Is there any other info I can provide that would be useful?

needs to be running.Could there be a problem with portmap? -----------------

Well, they're both running on the server. portmap is running on the client box, but I haven't launched nfsserver on the client boxes, as they're not supposed to be servers. I'm currently working with one box, to see if I can get it going. Once I accomplish that, I'll know what to do for the rest. (After my last troubleshooting experience, I want to be clear what I'm doing). :)

Well, kind of. The clients still don't see a server in Yast. However, entering the server's hostname manually, and adding the correct info for the remote and local directory name(s) is sufficient. I now have a working NFS system. Is anyone else having problems with the Yast NFS client module recognizing servers? Is this a bug, or could something else cause this behavior?
