Thank you. But there's one more problem (Please forgive my ignorance, but everybody has a first time) I don't really know how to manage NFS. I should probably read a guide and so on, but maybe you (Or someone) could give a quick guide on how to set up a share? Also, another problem is that I'm using my router for DHCP, is there any way of doing this without giving extra options via DHCP? I could perhaps solve it some other way, but given the hardware I possess, it'd be easier if this could be solved without using a DHCP server on a box.
