You said:
/common 192,168,1.2(rw,no_root_squash,insecure)
shouldn't that read:
/common 192.168.1.2(rw,no_root_squash,insecure)
I don't think you need the "insecure" param either.
The above is on the boss.somewhere.com box.
On the client (192.168.1.2) NFS box, you should be using:
mount -t nfs boss:/common /mnt/mountpoint
Right?
For me, /etc/exports on elmo.shirley.org (internal domain, of course):
/home/Mandrake *.shirley.org(ro,no_root_squash)
and on bugsbunny.shirley.org in /etc/fstab:
elmo:/home/Mandrake /mnt/nfs nfs noauto,ro,nosuid,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0
which I can access as root.
Hope this helps,
Bill

Subject: [expert] Network Frustration
Hello all.
I've been lurking for several months soaking up info as fast as I
can but still have a problem with networking my linux boxes
together. It seems that no matter which distro I use (RH 6.2 -
LM 7.0 - LM 7.1b) I set it up as well as I can following the
instructions in NET4 HOWTO and always get one of two messages.
RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused
netfs: Mounting NFS filesystems failed
or
RPC not registered.
I am leaning towards a security problem but don't know just what
to do or where to look.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
My exports file look like this:
[root@boss /root]# cat /etc/exports
/common 192,168,1.2(rw,no_root_squash,insecure)
PS
Most of the documentation written in an understandable manner is
for setting up a Winderz - Linux network are there any docs on
NFS simplified to the point that a non network administrator can
read and understand them? Do I even need NFS, is ther another
way to set up a linux to linux network that's as good or better?
TIA
