Checklist anyone? > > Max Hi Just set up something similar myself in the last few weeks as part of a migration from xp client to fedora client network. NFS: Presumably you've tried showmount -e to check that your server thinks it is exporting something in the first place? SAMBA: have you tried smbclient from your server shell to check you can login to samba - again making sure that there is something there for your clients to connect to. HTH Nick
