Hi evrybody,
I have 2 machines under FC5. I'm trying to configure NFS (Network File System) between these 2 machines (client=pc006, server=pc005). 
So, I have added this in /etc/fstab and in /etc/exports:
/etc/fstab:
 #pc005:/home/rep-export    /home/rep-import    nfs    defaults    0 0
 192.168.1.5:/home/rep-export    /home/rep-import    nfs    defaults    0 0
 
 /etc/exports:
 /home/rep-export    *(rw,no_root_squash)
 
==> When I use in the client the "IP address" of the server, it works very fine, but when I put the "name" of the server at the place of this IP address it generate this error:
    mount -a
    mount to NFS server "pc005" failled

There is no error is added to the /var/log/messages file.
Apparently, the problem is that my PC does'nt recognize the name of the server (pc005). (but ping pc005 works fine!).
I have added in /etc/hosts this line:
 192.168.1.5   pc005
but the problem persists.

Do you know what must I do 
to resolve this problem.


Thnx.
Lil
