Peter,
   I'll give this version a try. I haven't used the insecure option
yet. That one is new.

(10 minutes later...) Nope - no luck. From the server side:

dragonfly ~ # exportfs -ra
dragonfly ~ # /etc/init.d/nfs restart
 * Stopping NFS mountd ...                                            
                     [ ok ] * Stopping NFS daemon ...                 
                                                [ ok ] * Stopping NFS
statd ...                                                             
     [ ok ] * Starting NFS statd ...                                  
                                [ ok ] * Exporting NFS directories ...
                                                           [ ok ] *
Starting NFS daemon ...                                               
                  [ ok ] * Starting NFS mountd ...                    
                                             [ ok ]dragonfly ~ # cat
/etc/exports
# /etc/exports: NFS file systems being exported.  See exports(5).
/MusicLib       192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(sync,insecure,no_root_squash,ro)
dragonfly ~ # exportfs
/MusicLib       192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
dragonfly ~ #

So the server says it's exported. However on the Gentoo laptop I get
this when I try to mount it:

flash ~ $ mount MusicLib
mount: dragonfly:/MusicLib failed, reason given by server: No such
file or directory
flash ~ $

   If you have a second could you reply back with what services you
are running on the server when you do this? The ones below I've been
messing with but I no longer am really sure which are required on a
Gentoo server. I'm not currently running nfsmount or xinetd although I
have tried them. (I think...)

netmount (default)
nfs (default)
nfsmount (not started) 
portmap (default)
xinetd (not started)

   If there is some other service or a specific config file you think
I should check on please let me know. I'm completely puzzled here. The
machine serves as a MythTV backend server as well as a day to day
desktop for my wife. It's a great machine in every other respect. I
just cannot figure this one out.


Thanks,
Mark
