NFS on a Solaris 9 server

Hello everyone!! Long time, no see!!

I have an issue with a Solaris server that I am working with. I am trying to set up a backup solution for someone that will involve a Solaris 9 server with NFS enabled allowing a Windows machine to map a drive to it (NFS Maestro).

NFS Maestro appears to work fine. However, the NFS share that I created does not work at all. To recap what I did, I went to /etc/dfs/dfstab and typed in:
Code:
share -F nfs -o rw /test

I figured that I would tighten down permissions later. I also restarted NFS by going to /etc/init.d and restarting the NFS.server by typing in:
Code:
./nfs.server stop
./nfs.server start

Not only can I not map a drive with NFS Maestro, but I also cannot use the NFS client on another Solaris machine to map to it. I'm sure that it is something that I missed. Smilie

Can someone point me in the right direction?

MOUNT.NFS(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      MOUNT.NFS(8)

NAME
mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System SYNOPSIS
mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsh ] [-o options] DESCRIPTION
mount.nfs is a part of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality. mount.nfs is meant to be used by the mount(8) command for mounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone command with limited functionality. remotetarget is a server share usually in the form of servername:/path/to/share. dir is the directory on which the file system is to be mounted. Under Linux 2.6.32 and later kernel versions, mount.nfs can mount all NFS file system versions. Under earlier Linux kernel versions, mount.nfs4 must be used for mounting NFSv4 file systems while mount.nfs must be used for NFSv3 and v2. OPTIONS
-r Mount file system readonly. -v Be verbose. -V Print version. -w Mount file system read-write. -f Fake mount. Don't actually call the mount system call. -n Do not update /etc/mtab. By default, an entry is created in /etc/mtab for every mounted file system. Use this option to skip making an entry. -s Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than fail. -h Print help message. nfsoptions Refer to nfs(5) or mount(8) manual pages. NOTE
For further information please refer nfs(5) and mount(8) manual pages. FILES
