Yeah, I was confused too, box9 is not in use today this is box7, I
forgot where I was.

Box8 is the nfs server, it's SL-6/64 bit and NS4.
And I'm not sure what this means:
[root at box7 SRVR1]# showmount -e
clnt_create: RPC: Program not registered

The clients we are 7, 9 not running, and 44 [192.168.1.44 MacPro 31
desktop computer. There are others, all Apple stuff.

She has the latest version of OSX, whatever that's called, but there
are no wild cards used that I am aware of.
However after she left I got to the Mac computer and found that
connecting to the server as she was doing produces an error message
that we have no permission to connect!
I went to 192.168.1.8 and connected and was able to display MP4
videos using VLC that I must have installed a few months ago. I am
not familiar with the Mac and was not able to get it to work with
some .flv files with VLC or another program that keeps popping up, I
forget what it's called.
So the nature of the problem changes. I need to learn how to convert
.flv to .mp4 with ffmpeg which it seems is supposed to be able to do
that but I haven't had much success. Firefox has an add-on
"dwhelper" that will sometimes convert and save a video file as mp4,
it hasn't worked reliably for me though, I had no success saving
.flv as mp4.
So that's where I stand now, just wanted to explain. Thanks to all,
Bob
