Clark cjclark@alum.mit.edu I made the exports file "/cdrom -ro 192.168.0.2" portmap was running as a daemon mountd was running, but I passed over the SIGHUP part Everything seems ok on the server side..... I tried again with different ip address (just to make me feel comfortable), and this time on the client during the setup I used the ip address instead because of lack of name server, so I used "192.168.0.1:/cdrom" and this time it returned "Unable to transfer the bin file. Do you want to try again." Ill try that SIGHUP thing and report back. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
