[SunHELP] NFS server fails

[Bret Adams]

Are there entries in the hosts file for all boxes involved.  Even if you 
are using dns, hosts file entries always help.  And this may sound weird 
but are the two boxes on the same subnet.  If not, try putting them on the 
same subnet.  Now it sounds like the host nfs box cant authenticate the 
client's credentials i.e. name and IP address to allow the mount.
