Sorry about the confusion here. I did actually try out your problem by using one pc on my basement as the server and my laptop as the client from my room.

I boot up both the server/client machines with knoppix cd and then I started the SSH server on the server machine so that I can remotely logon to it from my room via ssh.

I have the same feeling with you that ssh should not matter to your NFS issue but I have to prove it tonight after work.

However, the steps I mentioned on the Wifi FAQ is a TRUE STEP-BY-STEP HISTORY of what I had done. AND IT WORKS at the end. That's why you see the SSH step in there.

After I revisited your description about your failure, I suspect it is the directories setting that created the problem.

Please try out to change the server side shared directory to 777 (i.e. sudo chmod 777 /master/share).

I don't know what user id the master server will be used when the client machine tries to connect and use the shared directory via NFS, most likely will use the id "nobody".

If you really struck with the problem, I suggest you try it again from scratch. Just follow the Wifi FAQ and make sure it works first. Then try to figure out how it is difference from your old steps. I found that it is very straight forward procedure to set up the NFS.
