That very much depends on how you have your network set up... can you describe it for us?

All machines have a staic IP, connected to a HUB which is then connected to a Cisco DSL router. DNS provided by IP. Operating systems include RedHat Linux 8.1, Mac OS 10.3.4, and SuSE Pro 9.1.
Is this what you wanted to know. I will provide more info if needed.
So each machine has only one NIC which is effectively directly connected to the web. This isn't the mose effective, and definitely not the most secure way to do it. It will be next to impossible to make NFS work without opening security holes in your network. I would recommend using one machine as a gateway: Router <=> Gateway <=> hub <=> other machines that way you will only need to run the firewall on the external interface of the gateway and it will protect the entire network - other services run via the other interface and across a private trusted network.
