Is that your own domain name, are their public DNS entries for it that conflict with what you're doing? (I'm offline as I write this, so I can't check, but that could be quite a problem.) > 2.

I assume you mean that you're adding a line to the /etc/fstab file on the PC that you want to mount the *other* PCs drive to. Not trying to do so on the PC that is exporting/sharing that directory. I would also add a couple of other parameters, to be on the safe side, to protect you against other accidents once you get NFS working: 192.168.1.xx:/home/rajesh/Documents /net nfs rw,intr,noexec,nodev 0 0 > But when I boot, I get the following error: > "mount to nfs server '192.168.1.xx' failed: server is down" The NFS server isn't running? Is your network working? Can you ping each machine from each other, for instance? If you're running SELinux, you might need to tweak your settings to allow NFS to work with home directories. There's options directly for that in the security level configuration GUI that's in Gnome, at least. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
