The topology of the network is an independent group of computers some with hard addresses and some served by the dhcp server on my dsl router. One computer serves as a samba server for a workgroup that is mainly serving the one ms machine on the network. My netmask is 255.0.0.0 which is not what I would use if I had set something up now but years ago I knew less than I know now. The two computers that I am testing the nfs service on are both hard addressed and I am ssh -Y ing between them without difficulty. They are both running Fc5. I have tried to set up nfs before and was only successful once and I don't remember what it was I did. I have not setup hosts.deny or hosts.allow yet because that increases the variables to check. The hosts file on the subject machines are populated with matching ip's and hostnames. What leads me to wonder if DNS needs to be set up is that the NFS howto's assume fully qualified domain names in there examples. Jim
