Hi All, I'm setting up NFS between my laptop (geri) and desktop (natalie). However, I can only get it to work with the IP addresses, which is a right pain because the network uses DHCP off my Bb router. At the moment I have (for example) an NFS mount point on natalie of /home/julian, so the files are set up as: /etc/exports /home/julian *(rw) and on geri the /etc/fstab has: 192.168.1.2:/home/julian /home/jules/nfs/desktop This worked yesterday, in fact both machines were talking to each other and sharing files. However because it's using DHCP it won't work today after a reset, so I am trying to setup the hostnames. on natalie the /etc/hosts file has: 127.0.0.1 natalie.tartarus localhost.localdomain localhost natalie (all on one line) the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 has: DHCP_HOSTNAME="natalie.tartarus" But the hostname does not survive a reboot. I try pinging natalie or geri and get unknown host. Any ideas gratefully received :) Kind regards, Julian -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
