Hmmm... it's been a while since I've futzed w/ NFS, and *not* w/ my eMac yet. First suggestion: try man mount, to make sure that you have the syntax right. It looks correct, but I don't have a *nix box in front of me as I type this, so YMMV. The way I remember doing it was like: mount -t nfs lansvr:/home /home Another thing that drove me up the wall w/ RH and their ipchains firewall tool was that by default, it blocks part of the NFS communication, making it damn hard(impossible?) to mount anything. Try disabling the firewall on the RedHat machine, and possibly on the OS X machine as well, and try it again. Then you can figure out which firewall was blocking you. But I think the request just times out when the firewall is being a PITA. In any event, try the Linux Documentation Procect (www.tldp.org) NFS-HOWTO.
