Im trying to get a NFS share going b/w two fedora boxes yet when I go to the client computer and put in a mount -t nfs 192.168.1.29:/home/minnie/bana /mnt/nfs It just times out with a mount: RPC: Remote system error - Connection timed out
Any suggestions?

How do I make sure that I setup the server NFS right?

Try /etc/init.d/iptables stop as root before mount operation. See if it works. If so then it's a problem with your firewall. Ofcourse I am assuming that you can ping the other m/c and networking is good between these two m/c.

Okay that fixed it, I think it either was the firewall on the server computer or that I didn't have the hosts setup right. Thx
