[Zhou, Jingchen]

Tried to use IPs on both server and client. Still not working. Thanks.

Make the entry of your clients into your server's /etc/hosts
  vi /etc/hosts
     nfsclient1      *** IP  of client ***

	I am having a problem to mount a NFS volume /home (exported by a RHEL4 server nfs0) on a NFS client which is also RHEL4. 
	
	The server (nfs0) is configured as such
	$ cat /etc/exports
	/home nfsclient1(rw)
	
	and the client (nfsclient1) as such:
	#cat /etc/fstab
	nfs0:/home            /home           nfs     defaults        0 0
	
	When the client boots up, I get the following error message:
	
	"Mounting NFS filesystems: mount: mount to NFS server 'nfs0' failed: System Error: No route to host."
	
	However, I have no problem to ping the server (nfs0) from nfsclient1 and I also can mount /home manually via e.g. "mount /home" from command line.
	
	Am I missing any?
	
	Thanks,
