Nope, NFS works fine in FC8, both the default kernel, and a number of the 
upgrade kernels, no one in their right mind uses SAMBA within a group of 
Linux/Unix machines, Samba is typically only used when exporting Linux/Unix disk 
to machines that don't have NFS support.

"no route to host" *IS* a connection problem, run the commands "netstat -r" and
"ifconfig -a" on both the server and client machine, and return the output.
