I'm running a SUSE 10.2 server and had running SLES 10 server before.
When I've exported a file system like this:

/share  *(rw,root_squash,async,no_subtree_check)

there was no problem to mount it from any client, but
when exported it specific to one IP, IP range or subnet e.g. like this:

/share  192.168.1.101(rw,root_squash,async,no_subtree_check)

I couldn't mount it from 192.168.1.101.
After that I've found a message in /var/log/warn of the server about
something like:

'Attempt to mount from 192.168.1.101. Could not resolve the name via
reverse-dns. Attempt dismissed'

So I setup first the /etc/hosts with all my clients in, which helped!
Now I'm running a local dns for all my clients on the server.

This might help you or it might not. However check the logs on the SLES9
server.

Thx
Jan
