That is right. This was as it came. No automaticall setting
after I did ifconfig eth0. Do not know why ;-).

Problem at the P100 solved. Put the address of the p100 in
the the rc.init1. After that it is recognised.
Right now a perfect communication is available. Pinging
works like a charm. I can even connect to my SuSe box with
mount bigone:/ /bigone after making a directory bigone.
So far I am happy. Today more results than in a long time
;-).
Problems remain. I can look with midnight commander in the
SuSe directories but....
1) My home directory and the directory of DrDos have no
content.
2)And I cannot go from the SuSe computer to my BL2
computer.

>From the SuSe list I found out that in the export file on
that computer the directories which are not on the harddisk
with the allowed / (root) a separate inclusion has to be
made. Does not work yet but it is a work in progress.

And when I tell the BL2 box to mount bigone without comment
I get the info that it is not found on the fstab/mtab.
In the fstab I have though the input:
bigone:/  /bigone nfs defaults 0 0
What is wrong with that?

Connecting from the SuSe box is also something not solved
yet. If I try to mount it with mount p100:/ /mnt it give me
following info:
mount: RPC : Port mapper failure - RPC unable to receive.
Has that to be repaired on the BL2 box or is that Suse who
does not want to cooperate?
