Hi, You don't need a NIS setup. You don't need anything special in your router. I think the best way is to manually edit /etc/exports and /etc/fstab and then use YaST to start the NFS server service. This is your server.../etc/exports /home/somedir/ashareddirectory 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync) #the PATH of the shared stuff the network/mask some options In YaST, select network services, start the NFS server. This is your client..one of many, in /etc/fstab do something like... 10.0.0.30:/home/somedir/ashareddirectory /home/someuser/some-directory nfs rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 (all of the above in one line) Does this help? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard SuSE10.2 2.6.18.2-34-default 8:36pm oppe 2:09, 4 users, belastningennemsnit: 0,09, 0,18, 0,24 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
