Dear All, I am new to networking and I have just two system to connect. They are connected to each other and ADSL modem through a network switch. I use fedora core 4 at both systems. 1. I assigned 192.168.1.10 to one system naming it primary.grajesh.in and the another 192.168.1.20 as secondary.grajesh.in. This was done using desktop>sytemsettings>network. 2. I added /home/rajesh/Documents to be exported using desktop>sytemsettings>serversettings>nfs. 3. I have added the above addresses to /etc/hosts file and /etc/hosts.allow file too. 4. I have added 192.168.1.xx:/home/rajesh/Documents /net nfs rw 0 0 to the /etc/fstab file also. But when I boot, I get the following error: "mount to nfs server '192.168.1.xx' failed: server is down" Where is the problem? I tried to disable firewall but no avail. Can some one help me, please. I tried reading online help, but they seem too complex to me. Is there any way out? I prefer keeping firewall on and if possible, selinux in enforcing mode too ;-) Thanks in advance.
