Problems when mounting

Just in case you missed something in rpcinfo - did you run "showmount -e
192.168.1.2" on the client?

Also, I believe that the two systems need to be able to resolve
hostnames for each other in order to mount; however, I would expect to
see an error message more clearly indicative of an authentication issue
in that case.

The two units are connected by a twisted TP cable

The host machine has been configured to share a

reads:

The specified IP is the one used by the target
system. I have followed the NFS HOWTO and

I try to mount from the target by using the line:

mount 192.168.1.1:/home/johan/nfsexport /tmp/local

I get the following problem:

/tmp/local failed: No such file or directory

I have verified that /tmp/local exists as a
directory and so does /home/johan/nfsexport on the host.
