Sound like you have an IP based permissions problem ... check your exports file to make sure you are making the NFS export available to both network segments. Your iptables rule should work (I didn't test it) but it will still reveal the originating IP to the NFS server. If your export rules in /etc/exports don't permit a client from the in_net segment to access the share, thats the message I'd expect. -- Tony Dietrich ------------- Good night, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are.
