I'm trying to setup a nfs share on my server. I'm trying to connect from
a laptop to that share. The laptops ip address is assigned via dhcp.

I try to connect to the share with the command
mount -v servername:/mountpoint /mnt

and get the error: nfs: can't get net id for host

/etc/exports

/data_drive/public	-alldirs

/etc/hosts.allow I have even added

portmap : ALL : allow

in attempt to mount the share, but I still get this error.

Any hints or tips?
