[QUOTE="applewax, post: 214075, member: 17407"] Hello, I have three Linux boxes (running CentOS 4.0, which is the open version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux) on my home network. Each Linux box can read/write the other two via NFS. I'd like to add my new MacBook to the mix, but I keep getting an error when I try to connect to any of them. The error is: "Could not connect to the server becaue the name or password is not correct." (It never prompted me for a name or password.) I've been trying to connect in the Finder with: nfs://192.168.0.100/home/farmer which is the address of one of the Linux machines. I've also tried to connect to the other two boxes, and tried variations such as nfs://192.168.0.100, with the same results. Any way to get this to work? I would think filesharing should be super-easy on a Mac. I'm not married to NFS - would it be easier if I used SMB? I've only had the MacBook since yesterday, so I'm still getting acquainted, but filesharing is a must. Oh, the MacBook automatically settled in on the network at 192.168.0.103, as expected, with the Linux boxes at 100, 101, and 102. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Joe [/QUOTE]
