I did not see Anders' response on the list - just your reply to him. But glad you got this working.
Okay, something worked. I set up /etc/hosts on both computers (I'll do a full DNS setup later). In /etc/exports, I left the "hosts" field completely blank. On the client, I replaced the IP addresses in /etc/fstab with names. Finally, I rebooted the client to make absolutely sure /etc/fstab would be read.
rcnetwork restart as root should do the trick - this ain't Windows!
I'm going to start adding things back one at a time. I've never worked with BIND 9 before, only BIND 8, but now's a good time to learn. I'm also going to tackle NIS.
