/home is one of four directories that I wish to share (the others are custom, not part of the standard structure). When trying to configure NFS client in YAST (the server was also configured in YAST), it gives me the option to choose the NFS server hostname. Neither of my computers seem to recognise that I have a server configured and, therefore, fail to find it. If I try and type the server name in longhand, the client configurator does not believe me. What am I doing wrong? Thanks steve wrote:

What are you trying to share? The /home directory on the server perhaps so that the client can share the files? A NIS environment? A workgroup serving gimp from a central server? Can't keep guessing!
NFS is really easy to setup especially if you use yast but we can't help unless you tell us what you want to do.
