Hi, I think that you would also need to edit /etc/hosts.allow with portmap:<IXP1200EB-IP>/<netmask> /etc/hosts with <IXP1200EB-IP> hostname and maybe you'd like to add IP-address-of-host:/nfsdir *(rw, no_root_squash) to the /etc/exports file This was the setting that I got to work for me on my Redhat 7.2 but I used the nfs-server-2.2beta40 package from the SDK CD1. ->For getting NFS server to work ->================================== ->Check if nfs-utils-0.3.1-12 package is installed ->rpm -qa | grep nfs* ->Install the package nfs-utils-0.3.1-12 if it is not installed. ->Edit the file /etc/exports ->IP-address-of-host:/nfsdir *(rw) ->Then type ->"exportfs -a" -> -> -> ->Hope it helps.... -> ->-Ranjeeta "My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit.
