/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?
1. Another poster suggested you check for a firewall running. Make sure you check the client and the server since either could be blocking. 2. Check the DNS on the client. If YaST can't find the server by name it may be a DNS issue. 3. Run "rpcinfo -p" on both the client and the server. Are the NFS services running? 4. Try "telnet localhost 111" to see if you can connect to the portmapper. Jeff
