I am completly new to Linux but I am trying to setup a NFS server in a test environment. Both computers run open suse 10.2 kernel version 2.4.23. I have edited the hosts.allow file for ALLOW:192.168.0. and setup the exports file for /usr/local 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,squash_root,sync) and I have shared the local directory. If i try to mount the directory on the client computer i get:THE SERVER REPORTED TCP IS NOT AVAILABLE FALLING BACK TO UDP RPC PROGRAM IS NOT REGISTERED" Does any one know how to fix this? I am able to ping both computers, browse the shared folders on them and the firewall on each computer is disabled

Hi gfxrelay,

First, did you read any NFS documentation about setting up an NFS server on a network in order to know what is required?

If not, then for example, you can search the Internet for: NFS server +Suse Linux +guide
and get a lot of hits, so follow one or more of the guides to properly setup your server.

Hi Tom
I actually managed to find the problem. The nfs server wasn't started. I went in to the YAST control panel and enabled it. Thanks for the help
