Hi everyone. Thanks for all the help in this thead. We now have working network. I had no idea that networking was so well catered for in Linux and so easy to set up. Steve On Friday 26 October 2001 18:43, you wrote:

IMHO, the best way to share files by NFS through your network is to create a directory in your server and you clients and share it.
Let's say that this directory is /usr/local/share/netwide, on you server add this to your /etc/exports file:
/usr/local/share/netwide *(rw,no_root_squash)
and on each client's /etc/fstab file add:
<servername>:/usr/local/share/netwide /usr/local/share/netwide nfs defaults 0 0
do a 'rcnfsserver restart' on your server and a 'rcnfs restart' on each client and all should go fine.
HTH, regards...
