Rick,

I'll answer at top as it's getting long.

Read  man exports and then played with the exports file.

Tried 192.168.1.103(rw,no_root_squash) and it worked
then tried 192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_root_squash) and it worked.

I tried this as the man file said to use wild cards or full
names.  Don't know why 192.168/16 didn't work but it's working
now.

NOW lets work on the printers..

There are 10 types of people in this world.  Those that
understand binary and those that don't.
