I'm keeping this separate from the Windows share discussion since I'm expecting different audiences.

When I try to mount a local NFS share, I'm getting this rather unhelpful error:
Code:
mount.nfs internal error

I know my /etc/exports is good on the server, because I'm mounting these shares on another computer. Has anyone succeeded in mounting an NFS share?

Could you tell us how you are trying to mount the nfs share?
 
sudo mount <serverIdefinedInHosts>:/<sharedFolder> home/me/sharefolder

...don't know if I've made that less intelligable by removing the specific details...

It did for me.

:) fair enough.

Code:
sudo mount ubermyth:/myth /home/ali/myth

actually originally I was just doing:
Code:
sudo mount -a
since I have an entry in /etc/fstab, but I get the same results on the above.

basically I can connect into this share on another computer, and I just copied the relevant bits from /etc/hosts and /etc/fstab onto the Pandora, but it gives that useless error message.

I'm mostly curious if anyone else has sucessfully done this - meaning I'm doing something wrong. Or if noone has done it - meaning there's something more fundamental wrong. Anyone? Surely not everyone is only connecting to samba shares?
