    NFS mount does not work

    This is my case, I want to mount a folder in the redhat linux box which configured as static IP address to redhat linux box which configured as dynamic IP address. HELP?

    I have tried the following.
    1 ) - on server which is redhat linux box which configured as static IP address,
    created a a new folder, nemed "newfolder" and shared that using NFS.

    2) - on client which is redhat linux box, configured as dynamic IP address, modified etc/hosts
    and add the following.
    /home/user/newfolder <Server-IP-Address>(rw,sync,nohide)
    3) - on client created new directory named wdir and typed mount as
    #mount -t nfs <Server-IP-Address>:/newfolder /mnt/wdir

    I get the error "mount ..failed, reason given by server : Permision denied"

    Check your exports and see that rw is set

    Also make sure that the host that is trying to mount is allowed
