I did have it working with my old laptop, but NFS isn't so happy with suddenly disappearing network connections. I ended up using Samba and CIFS to access network shares. Do you get the same behaviour when using a wired connection? Also, something I found out when I tried to configure a network printer once, some badly designed wireless routers (The el-cheapo consumer ones) forget to bridge the LAN and WIFI portions of the network. Try adding a route to the NFS-server via the IP of the router. That might also do the trick. # route add <NFS-ip> gw <router-ip> -- Joost
