I should add, none of the systems I'm working with have the firewall enabled.

rcportmap rcnfsserver 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). :) Don -- DC Parris GNU Evangelist http://matheteuo.org/ http://chaddb.sourceforge.net/ "Free software is like God's love - you can share it with anyone anytime anywhere!"

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?
