Ok that answers the question on how many NFS servers on a lan.
The other question is why I can see box A's shared files on both box A and
box B but I cant see box B's shared files on either box.Both have as far as I can tell
got there nfs servers running.I can ping each box from the other and do trace route
from both but when I go to mount box B on box A I get a permission denied warning.
Why I wanted to get this working is so I could transfer my home folder between the
boxes,which I can do via A but dont understand why it won't work the other way
