Ok I changed * by IP as you said and it did worked. I was able to mount the said nfs share on client machine lets say its hostname is client_hostname but I was not able to go inside the mounted folder. On the client machine mount -t nfs <IP of server>:/media/vol2 /mnt/nfs this did worked but when from client machine I do cd /mnt/nfs I get permission denied. When I see a ls -l then I see an owner different than root (infact username:groupname) shows me client machines hostname here is out put of said nfs mount on client machine drwx------ 1 client_hostname client_hostname 20480 2011-01-03 17:43 nfs on the nfs server which is my laptop the directory which I exported its permissions are drwx------ 1 tapas tapas 20480 2011-01-03 17:43 vol2 So thinking that this might be the problem I tried to change the permissions on nfs-server folder itself How ever this attempt to change permissions (as root) on the nfs-server failed. -- http://mightydreams.blogspot.com -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
