Mike, So sorry. I should have noted that the nfs service must be stopped, then the files removed, then restart the service. If they are not there, the files will be created when the service is started. service stop nfs rm /var/lib/nfs/*tab service start nfs (if you are uncomfortable rename the three files to .old and move them to the /tmp file -- I know it makes me nervous doing things, stabbing around in the dark) I realized in the middle of the night I didn't explain this very well. We actually had to do this a second time just recently when the hub/switch in the server room died and we had to replace it. (It was explained to me in "simplistic" terms as I am a newbie, this time nfs got confused.) What was curious to me is that this time the behavior of the terminals was much different, and yet the solution was the same....
