Hi,
   On my wife's machine, which we converted from FC2 to Gentoo a few
weeks ago, I have one thing I forgot to do. We have a large (50GB) ogg
music library that we used to export over NFS so that other machines
in the house could play the music locally. However I forgot to get
that working until today when my son griped at me. Now I'm under the
gun.

I set up the following export file on the server:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cat /etc/exports
# /etc/exports: NFS file systems being exported.  See exports(5).
/MusicLib       *(ro)
/home/mark/MusicLib *(rw)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $

NFS seems to be started:

dragonfly ~ # /etc/init.d/nfs status
 * status:  started
dragonfly ~ #

One the remote machine I have this in the fstab file:

dragonfly:/MusicLib     /mnt/MusicLib           nfs    
noauto,user,ro,_netdev  0 0

However when I try to mount it from another machine I get this response:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mount /mnt/MusicLib/
mount to NFS server 'dragonfly' failed: server is down.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#

The remote machine knows Dragonfly by name:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ping dragonfly
PING Dragonfly (192.168.1.55) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from Dragonfly (192.168.1.55): icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=3.16 ms
64 bytes from Dragonfly (192.168.1.55): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=5.16 ms

What did I forget to do?

Thanks,
Mark
