You have a network address and a mask for a machine! try 192.168.0.0/28 Check that you have:- Restarted the daemons after you changed the config file. Set up /etc/hosts.allow and hosts.deny Also ensure that the uid and gid of the real users is the same on both machines. > and NFS starts without any errors. so far so good.... > > The client machine is another story.
