    Well I have liloo machine upgraded to 9.3, same problem as before. What
    I don't understand is how when I go into yast, network services, nfs
    client and add a new server, put in the server ip address, then try the
    select remote file system, it comes up empty and that machine, but on my
    machine, it comes up correctly. Same network, server NFS server has *
    that can access the /home directory.
