Youll have to change the modprobe command in /etc/rc.d/rc.nfsd to the required insmod commands.....The machine I was testing on has the client\server nfs stuff compiled in
Well, I unpacked the file you had here into '/', placing all the files (and links) into the correct places.
I made the hosts.allow change and I had a look at the insmod commands you had earlier in this thread... but they didn't seem to do anything.
At any rate, I then had an rxvt session in /root/.etc/rc.d ... and here's what happened:-
root@tetrad # ./rc.nfsd start
Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.4.29/modules.dep
modprobe: Can't locate module nfsd
Starting RPC portmapper: /root/my-applications/nfs/sbin/rpc.portmap
Starting NFS services:
/root/my-applications/nfs/usr/sbin/exportfs -r
exportfs: /etc/exports [4]: No 'sync' or 'async' option specified for export "*:/root".
Assuming default behaviour ('sync').
NOTE: this default has changed from previous versions
exportfs: could not open /var/lib/nfs/xtab for locking
/root/my-applications/nfs/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd 8

Now, I'm not too flash on the modules that need to be loaded... Maybe you could do a modprobe (or whatever it is) and fling it here, so I can see what modules you have loaded... and we can try it step-by-step.
Oh... I can still ping Ok between the 2 PCs Ok, so I know the 'basic' networking is Ok.
Thx.
