NFS, trouble in setting up shares, newbie requires help

[ifouane]

Hello,
I'm running Fedora core 6 and trying to set up nfs shares between my two machines.
(192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.12).
The services look running well:

[root@localhost ~]# rpcinfo -p 192.168.1.2
program no_version protocole no_port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper

and

100005 2 tcp 986 mountd
100005 3 udp 983 mountd
100005 3 tcp 986 mountd
I've cobfigured the hosts.allow and hosts.deny:
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/hosts.allow
# hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are
# allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
# by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.
#
portmap: 192.168.1.2
lockd: 192.168.1.2
mountd: 192.168.1.2
rquotad: 192.168.1.2
statd: 192.168.1.2

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/hosts.deny
#
# hosts.deny This file describes the names of the hosts which are
# *not* allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
# by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.
#
# The portmap line is redundant, but it is left to remind you that
# the new secure portmap uses hosts.deny and hosts.allow. In particular
# you should know that NFS uses portmap!
portmap: ALL
lockd : ALL
mountd : ALL
rquotad: ALL
statd : ALL

and correspondingly on the other machine.

The exports:
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/exports
/home 198.192.1.2(rw,sync,insecure,no_subtree_check,nohi de)

and correspondingly on the other machine.

Here is my fstab:
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/fstab
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 /media/sda1 vfat defaults,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/sda5 /media/sda5 ntfs ro,defaults,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/sda6 /media/sda6 ntfs ro,defaults,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 /home/ext ext3 defaults 1 2
192.168.1.2:/ /home/salon nfs4 noauto,rw,user

When trying to mount the last line I have the following message:
[
root@localhost ~]# mount 192.168.1.2:/
mount: can't get address for localhost.localdomain

I've disabled temporarily firewalls but it doesn't help.
I don't find info on the net to go further.
This newbie would be thankfull for some advise.

Hi ifouane,

[root@localhost ~]# mount 192.168.1.2:/
mount: can't get address for localhost.localdomain

Can you post the contents of /etc/hosts here

can't get address for localhost is the first thing you need to sort out.
