For those who don't understand Microsoft Windows networking, it seems to be too much. NFS is actually really easy. The 'server' has to export and the 'client' has to mount. 'man exports' 'man fstab' for example at my house... My server... #cat /etc/exports /home (insecure,no_root_squash,rw) My workstation-entry in /etc/fstab FQDN_OF_MY_SERVER:/home /home/linuxserver nfs user 0 0 Macintosh OSX seems to put disc's in /Volumes so if I were mounting on Macintosh - I haven't done this so I'm speculating... FQDN_OF_MY_SERVER:/home /Volumes/linuxserver nfs user 0 0 of course, you would have to 'mkdir /Volumes/linuxserver' first. Craig
