mounting NFS shares

[Colin Brace]

Thanks for the suggestions. I wasn't previously aware of the showmount
command; it is quite useful. Initially, I could only see the shares, not
mount them, as I kept getting a refusal from the server, but this appeared
to be due to the fact that the IP number of my laptop keeps changing, so I
modified the /etc/exports entry on the server to look like this:

/home/colin 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw)

Now, using the command

sudo mount -w ariel:/home/colin /mnt/ariel

I can mount the share, however only read-only.

The permissions in /mnt appear like this:

drwxr-xr-x  94  500  500 12288 2006-01-06 19:19 ariel

The username is the same on both machines. What could be going wrong?

Thanks...
