Make sure the IPs of the DNS servers is correct. If you don't use a Search Domain then you will need to use the fully qualified host name when naming the server in NFS (ie, myhost.mydomain).

I've checked the configuration in YaST as suggested and all seems as I would expect. My XP workstation resolves and pings all my DNS names but my SuSE9.2 laptop only returns unknown host.
OK, then your NFS problem is actually a DNS problem. Check that the laptop firewall allows port 53 udp and tcp through. Try disabling the laptop firewall and retry. From the laptop can you telnet to port 53 on the server? Jeff
