(SuSE Linux 9.3 Pro) I'm trying to set up a Linux-only network to use the Network File System (NFS). The description of NFS sounds like just what I need but I'm having problems trying to set up an NFS server. I've seen the note in the SuSE admin manual stating that I need to have a DNS so I decided to try to set that up first. YaST says I need something called a "forwarder". My first problem. I have no idea what a forwarder is and referencing the SuSE admin manual was no help. Can someone explain to me what a "forwarder" is? Some other questions. I assume that DNS requires static IP addresses. Is that true? If so, how can I reconcile that with DHCP? If not, how do I tell DNS that I'm using DHCP? In short... I am completely lost in the terminology and processes needed to set up NFS. Can someone point me to a starting point and give me a few pointers on how to proceed. I will sincerely appreciate any assistance. -- Donald D. Henson, Managing Director West El Paso Information Network The "Non-Initiation of Force Principle" Rules
