Hello all,
is it really possible to connect two linux computers together with NFS?
Ping, FTP, Telnet all work just fine, I can even export an X-Windows session,
but no cross mounting of exported directories.
I've been trying to do this for nearly a year with very limited success.
I can usually get one computer (foo) to connect and be able to read the
exported directory of the other computer (bar) but have never been able to get
(bar) to read the exported directory of (foo).
I have tried with several different computers and several different distro's
with the same results, ie: foo will mount bar's export but bar will not allow
foo to mount, keeps getting an error message.
Error messages are usually " unable to mount, connection refused or RPC not
registered..
My college instructor is of the opinion that it can't be done.
What I want to do is to have the 4 computers in my home network be able to
mount and share files accross the network like I do under <ugh> Winderz.
TIA
