So, please let us know when you've cleaned up your basic network configuration and if that has fixed your problems, OK?
Disabled DHCP from linksys router and set static addresses for each machine. Can now print from everything on each machine, NFS mounts directories just fine. One problem that I am left with (at present)... I wanted to be able to log on to one machine (#1) as if I were on the other (#2). I set up NFS on #2 to serve the /home directories to #1, mounting them to /home. There are no users on #1, so no conflicts with the directory. I am able to logon without a hitch, using all my documents and settings, and even my desktop as if I were on #2. Some apps won't run because I'm not importing /usr or /opt directories. Problem is: When I try to use the internet from #1 from my NFS mounted /home directory, things come to a near screeching halt. My download and upload speeds are in the double digits, 30-40 kb/s instead of 900+ kb/s. Sometimes the speed picks up, but it's short lived and inconsistent In trying to do a remote login to #2 I just get a black screen with a mouse pointer, and no menus or access to anything. This is why I set up NFS to mount the /home directories the way I did. Thoughts??? Bernd
