And how do I fix it? There may be different packages needed if you aren't used to woody. I am on unstable and here are the ones I used: ii nfs-common 1.0.3-1 NFS support files common to client and serve ii nfs-user-serve 2.2beta47-15 User space NFS server. Maybe you installed nfs-kernel-server instead and the kernel isn't configured for it? I used nfs-user-server and setup was trivial as you describe above. I'll assume you can ping each other, by hostname? Shawn Lamson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
