Thanks for responding. Here is the contents of my /etc/hosts ********************************************* 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 deblin.fiwwi.prv deblin # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts ********************************************* deblin is the name of the computer running nfs-kernel-server. My /etc/host.allow and /etc/host.deny files are empty. Here is the contents of my /etc/exports ********************************************** # /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported # to NFS clients. See exports(5). # # Example for NFSv2 and NFSv3: # /srv/homes hostname1(rw,sync) hostname2(ro,sync) # # Example for NFSv4: # /srv/nfs4 gss/krb5i(rw,sync,fsid=0,crossmnt) # /srv/nfs4/homes gss/krb5i(rw,sync) # #Export music files /home/music 192.168.20.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) #Export Debian directoy /home/debian 192.168.20.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) #Export steven home /home/steven 192.168.20.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) ********************************************* I also tried export to *(rw,sync), localhost(rw,sync) and 127.0.0.1(rw,sync) with the same results. I am still learning Debian/Linux and have not delved into bind as yet. Please advise. Thank you. ********************************************************************* Steven Demetrius - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Tel: (855 12) 810 350 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************************************************* Steven Demetrius ©2006 ********************************************************************* Steinar H.
