    Re: HOWTO: NFS Server/Client

    Unfortunately with SAMBA *and* with NFS, Im getting a max of 1.5M/sec between two machines.

    The Wireless 54Mbps Wireless G Server:
    Code:
    ath0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:11:50:D4:FD:E8  
              inet addr:192.168.11.8  Bcast:192.168.11.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

              Interrupt:201 Base address:0x2000
    The router 'tween the two is a Buffalo Airstation WBR-G54.

    What steps should I take to troubleshoot this problem?

    Nice How-to

    This thread has been added to the UDSF wiki (thank you Crane)

    Re: HOWTO: NFS Server/Client

    Hi all,

    Getting a bit lost at this point......

    "Mounting manually
    Example to mount server.mydomain.com:/files to /files. In this example server.mydomain.com is the name of the server containing the nfs share, and files is the name of the share on the nfs server

    The mount point /files must first exist on the client machine.
    cd /
    sudo mkdir files

    to mount the share from a terminal type

    sudo mount server.mydomain.com:/files /files"

    All i want to do is store my music files on my desktop and be able to access them from various laptops around the house over my network.

    How do i know what "mydomain" is called and is it .com? Do i have one?
    the files i want to access would be home/styvens/music
    I will want this share to be available from boot up on any other computer in the house

    Sorry if i appear a bit thick here......

    Steve

    The server.mydomain.com can just be the ip address of your desktop in your LAN, so you could just use:
    Code:
    sudo mount 192.168.1.10:/remotefolder /mountpoint
    for example

    Or if you add an entry to your /etc/hosts with that ip and assign a name to it:
    Code:
    192.168.1.10 desktop
    so you could mount it with
    Code:
    sudo mount desktop:/remotefolder /mountpoint
    Of course you should use a static ip and not dhcp for all this to work.

    Re: HOWTO: NFS Server/Client

    Thanks for that,

    So i need to find the ip of my desktop and set it to static, which is at the moment set up as dhcp.

    Just so i can be pointed in the right direction, my network setup is as follows.

    cable setop box (modem) to 4 way router, internet split from router to various laptops etc.

    Do i need to do anything different, I was really looking to set up a home server, is this in effect what will happen if i want to access files form the desktop?

    Just assign static ips to all the pcs you want to have access to and you'll be fine.

    Re: HOWTO: NFS Server/Client

    Thanks for input so far, still struggling.

    I have tried this out on 2 laptops at the moment, 1 being server, 1 being client.
    On the client i can't see the shared folder, and also i can't see a folder i have set up to be shared from the client on the 1st laptop.

    Please see screenshot of the 1st laptop(server) settings, what am i not doing right?

    What is your 2nd laptop's (client) ip? Are you restarting nfs with:
    Code:
    sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart
    sudo exportfs -a
    after you make the changes?

    Can you ping the server from the client and the other way around?
