I guess I need to do a little more reading on NFS then. For example if I use NCftp an try

to open the other computer: open hpbox.computer (that is it's alias)
I get:

open hpbox.computer
Could not connect to hpbox.computer: Connection refused. 
         Sleeping 19 seconds... I have them setup in host.allow

It nows what it is:  lookup hpbox.computer
hpbox.computer                           192.168.0.2

Have them listed in host.allow. ???
