In-Reply-To: <20000917111330.L15156@fw.wintelcom.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG The followings are what I did: At the installation time, telling the hostname, domainname, defaultgateway, DNS server, ipaddress, net mask. edit /etc/rc.conf, add nfs_client_enable="YES" nfs_client_flags="-n -4" edit /etc/fstab to add in the mount systems and mount point (server side has been configured). At the server side, I say one message, svc: unknown version (3). Again, I can mount the NFS system after I login as root. But it simply does not work at boot time. --Zhenhai -------------------------------------------------------------- Zhenhai Duan PhD student Computer Science Department http://www.cs.umn.edu/~duan University of Minnesota, TC Phone: (612)626-7526(O) -------------------------------------------------------------- On Sun, 17 Sep 2000, Alfred Perlstein wrote: > > > Most likely DNS isn't working, there isn't really enought info here > > > for me to diagnose further, my only guess is that you're not > > > configuring your ethernet interfaces correctly.
