Hi all, I have often experienced that there are no "Exported Directories" displayed in KDE under: "1. YaST - Network Services - 2. NFS Client Configuration - 3. Add - 4. NFS Server Hostname - & then - 5. Remote File System" - Select button's selection window. It is not there irrespective of the correct IP address (or Hostname) entered as "NFS Server Hostname". Sometimes after a reboot, the NFS-Server offers the exported directories. After some time (even weeks), however, without any system reboots on any of the systems, the NFS-Server exported directories sometimes become unavailable. On the client side some RFC error is delivered when I issue the mount command to list them. Could this happen when somewhere along the line some network connections are lost and then reconnected; like a cable pulled from and reconnected to the LAN switch? Nothing else is upset by such breaks and reconnects. This problem with the NFS instability was present ever since I used SuSE 8.2 through all the versions till my newest Novell SUSE Linux 10.0 purchased version. The Samba shares are very stable on the same systems. Any help is appreciated. :-) Al
