i am having some problems mounting a remote file system on my computer. i have PPP up and running and am having no problems with it, but when i try and mount a remote file system i get an "unknown file system error" the command i am using is
mount prophet4.unl.edu:/usr1/user5/nhood /disks/prophets -t nfs prophet4 is an SGI IRIX i think i have been concurrently logged into the machine (over telnet) when trying to run it i am very new at this (been running debian for 4 days :) ) and have searched the FAQs and Documentation and haven't found a good answer. this may be an X-windows question and not appropriate here, if so i apologize also another question, when i try and start a remote application through X-windows (XFree86) i get an error something about the server not being able to access the client or the other way around. is there a file hat i need to edit to allow the two machines to communicate? again i have tried to find it in the docs and FAQs and have not gotten much help... thanks in advance -nathan hood -- D.
