   Re: mount problem

   Sorry the draft went by accident. So,   
      
   Ever since I  backed up to a second machine I had been using samba.   
   As a result I mounted using cifs and included username, password and   
   domain in the command line.   
      
   I no longer need Samba and so reduced my mount statement to a minimal:   
      
   $ sudo mount -t nfs -o rw //192.168.1.120:/home/backups/data/      
   /mnt/monty/data   
      
   The menu structure is:   
      
   /home/alan   
        /backups/alan   
                /data   
      
   When I ran that it returned:   
      
   mount.nfs: Failed to resolve server //192.168.1.120: Name or service not known   
      
   Any suggestions?
