(I'm a bit out of my depth here but isn't the fact that two hosts have the same IP address a problem?) Erm, maybe a silly question, but have you configured the network cards on each machine?
Apparently the OP has not. Having two machines with the same IP address is like two separate houses with the same phone number trying to each other, it won't work. Setup the network interfaces using YaST with different addresses first. you can use the 127.0.0.x addresses but it is highly recommended that you do NOT. Use an address similar to 192.168.1.10 for one machine and 192.168.1.20 for the other. Once you can ping each machine then try using NFS, not before.
Did that except I used 192.168.100.x. I can now ping the IP addresses in both directions if I use the IP addresses but cannot ping using the host names. I also recommend reading up a little on
networking so you have a little better understanding of what is needed.
Jeez, I never thought of that. I'll have to try that sometime. -- Donald D. Henson, Managing Director West El Paso Information Network The "Non-Initiation of Force Principle" Rules
