*nix file sharing (aka NFS) works best and easiest between machines that are NOT running individual firewalls. In that case they MUST have a really good firewall machine sitting between them and the net. AAMOF, if someone knows of a simple tutorial on how to configure a Linux box's firewall to allow NFS traffic but block just about everything else, I'd REALLY like a pointer to it. The only times I've gotten NFS to work, it was on boxen with firewalls off. In that case, it's dirt simple--but you gotta be behind a really tight firewall box. -mj- Craig White wrote: > On Sun, 2005-08-07 at 01:47 -0700, Glitch wrote: > >>Hello All, >> >> I could really use some help with some networking stuff.
