To reiterate, the laptop (server) is 192.168.0.155 and the desktop (client) is 192.168.0.146. Here is the error message again from the desktop (two lines, wrapped): sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.0.155:/media/jjj/Movies /media/jjj/Devil--Bonobo mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.0.155:/media/jjj/Movies And also from the desktop: showmount -e 192.168.0.155 Export list for 192.168.0.155: /media/jjj/Movies 127.0.0.1,192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 I take the mount.nfs error message as indicating a permissions problem, and the second command as meaning that the desktop does at least see the share on the laptop. Also, on the laptop I did 'sudo chmod 777 /media/jjj/Movies.' And on both computers I am jjj:jjj. Using the GUI I looked at the permissions for jjj:jjj and they are the same on both computers. On the desktop I also tried the mount command after doing sudo su to become root, but I still get the same error message. The error message certainly sounds like a permissions problem, but I don't know what else to do. I am wondering if the mount.nfs error is a generic message that the mount command gives regardless of what actually caused the failure to mount. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
