Where did you enter this?
I used YaST to set up a client machine. That's where I entered the host name.
When I try to access the exported directory, I get an error message that the host cannot be found. I'm sure that what I've said above is insufficient data. Can you either see what I'm doing wrong or ask some clarifying questions?
Can you send the contents of /etc/exports from the server and either /etc/fstab from the client or the command you typed to mount the nfs export?
/etc/exports:
/home/dhenson/Documents/UOP/ linux(ro,root_squash,sync)
OK, this is fine, except that if you specify an individual host by name then you DO need to have working name resolution (DNS or /etc/hosts.) Also, what is the host name of the server, and each client?
I suggest you use IP numbers ONLY in the /etc/exports otherwise you will be in trouble. Please refer to the man page for details on this. Therefore I recommend you use the following entry /home/dhenson/Documents/UOP/ 192.168.1.0/24(ro,root_squash,sync) Please subsitute the first three parts of ip address of "linux" with the 192.168.1.0/24 entry above. e.g if the ip address is 10.1.1.5 then enter 10.1.1.0/24 -- Regards, Graham Smith
