    [WIRED] gutsy/feisty file sharing broken? [RESOLVED]

    I have a desktop (my 'main' machine) running feisty, and a laptop (to experiment with) that used to run feisty as well. Both are hard-wired through a hub.

    ssh has always worked, but I could never get file sharing to work. Elsewhere in these fora I was pointed to
    <http://littlergirl.googlepages.com/NFSForIdiots.html>
    which worked just fine and I was a happy camper :-)

    A couple of days ago I decided to jump laptop into gutsy and followed
    <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gu...40bf791c42f52>
    to do so. I had some issues, but in the end all seemed to have worked- even my shared printer.

    Until I tried the file sharing, which is now kacked. I went back through the NFSForIdiots instructions, line by line, and everything is as it should be (and as it was when it was working feisty-to-feisty).

    From the laptop, when I try <sudo mount /home/desktop/shared> the error says:
    mount.nfs: 192.168.1.57 (desktop ip): home/desktop failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

    On the feisty desktop in Konqueror, Properties for the disk-drive-attached-to-a-pipe icon Shared folder says it's an unmounted NFS share. When I click on the Mount choice, it says permission denied, and then the Mount choice disappears from the menu

    From the desktop, when I try < sudo mount /home/laptop/shared> the error says:
    mount to NFS server '192.168.1.23(laptop ip)' failed: server is down.

    I have run all the restart commands in NFSForIdiots several times, with no change to this.

    On the gutsy laptop in Dolphin Properties for the blue-folder-with-a-red-plug Shared folder says it's a shared folder.

    Both have 'share this folder in the local network' checked, and 'share with nfs'
    Both have all permission boxes checked

    any ideas on what to try next?

    hate to say this but ... thank you, Mr XP ...
    as in the XP laptop I also have on my network ...
    because when I fired it up for something else, it flagged me a "two computers on the network with the same ip address" error

    thinking one of the kids (or worse, SWMBO) had been diddling about, I scurried around the abode looking for the offending machine (aka making the ip address list I've been promising myself)

    only to find that, for whatever reason (it was certainly _not_ changed by me ...) when I did the gutsy upgrade its ip was changed from 23 to 69- the same as the XP laptop

    reran the NFSForidiots stuff again just to make sure nothing else was amiss, and voila- it's all back file-sharing again.

    never trust a computer ...
