Re: [gentoo-user] Mounting a Network Drive
hello, You have to emerge nfs-utils. On the serverside you have to make sure the nfs daemons are running. You also have to add the directory you wanna share in /etc/exports. (see man exports) And after that do exportfs -a On the server side you have to start /etc/init.d/nfs. On the client side you have to start /etc/init.d/nfsmount. Also make sure no firewall on one of the hosts is blocking the communication. brgds. S.
