hi all

got a bittofa problem with NFS... well im newish to this.. but i got it 
working once... and ever since then i cant get it working! 

im trying to get my laptop to talk to my desktop... seems everythings working 
fine for the desktop i think now but im getting 

mount: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to send 

from my laptop when i try to mount the desktop machine.
when i try to mount the laptop from the desktop machine, i get 

mount: hamish:/home failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

this is a bit strange because everything looks fine in /etc/exports, showmount 
--exports shows me all the right stuff, and i've set it to no_root_squash so 
in theory, if im root, i should be able to get in?

please help im getting confused..... argh, doesnt networking do that to ya...

thanx

m~
