it sounds like you box isnt configured properly
check the setings in "/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0"
there you can fix the problem were you have to run ifconfig every time 
you boot
unfortunitly redhat dose not commit your setings to the system 
configuration files if you use standard commands like ifconfig
heres an example of an ifcfg-eth0 file
> BOOTPROTO="static"
> BROADCAST="192.168.100.255"
> IPADDR="192.168.100.1"
> NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
> NETWORK="192.168.100.0"
> STARTMODE="onboot"

the second problem is a server side problem
the nfs server for one reason or an other  is refusing the conection
good lick and i hope i was a help :-)

 I have everything set up on the server as it said it in the book.&nbsp; I&#8217;s funny
because the debian machine, once set up automatically configures on boot.&nbsp;
The Red Hat box needs to be done by hand each time (ifconfig for the NIC
etc).&nbsp; I also set up both machines as servers and am cross mounting just
to see if the problem is machine or distribution specific.&nbsp; <br>
