Re: [newbie] Networking Problem
Never used XP, but is this was a win98 question I'd say the problem was that you were not logged into the windows box with a valid username/password. For some reason if you give windows the wrong password it does not stop you logging on and seeing all the files, but it will stop you browsing the network. I think they call it security?

Re: [newbie] Networking problem
When I start portmap, everything is fine. When I start netfs, (nfs) is not in init.d, it says other filesystems mount: fs type nfs not supported by kernel. Does this mean I have to re-configure my kernel or up-grade? Portmap is not in init.d on 7.2, netfs is. When I started it, it said mounting other file systems mount: nfs [ok} But all it did was place a text file in my nfs directory telling me how to configure a server to serve a number of clients. I just want to share files between clients. Is this even possible?

Re: [newbie] Networking problem
I installed every option on 7.1 and 7.2 That file does not exist on either machine. Could it be called something else? Thanks On Sun, 10 Jun 2001, you wrote: > Try going here..

RE: [newbie] Networking problem
Try going here.. Mandrake has that file,, http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=rpc.nfsd&submit=Searc h+... did you install nfs-utils ??? regards Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Michael Lewis Sent: Sunday, 10 June 2001 10:08 PM To: Linux Newbie Subject: [newbie] Networking problem I have networked my two machines together and can ping each of them successfully. I'm trying to set up network file sharing and have edited the /etc/exports file to read /usr *.localdomain and /home *.localdomain I have also edited the /fstab files to read: machinename:/usr/usr nfs defaults and machinename:/home/home nfs defaults The problem i have is the book I'm using, which is the only one I could find to tell me how to enable network file sharing without setting up a network file server, says to run the rpc.nfsd daemon and to edit the startup file to do it automatically. The problem is I cannot find rpc.nfsd. The book was written for Slackware, but that's all I could find. Any suggestions? michael
