Lets see if I can explain my situation correctly, I have my AS/400, I have a Linux box, both on an internal IP setup, both can ping each other, both can telnet back and forth. I have successfully mounted an SMBFS on the linux box from the as/400, so I can access my as/400 files through the linux box. But I need to do the other way around, I need to mount a linux nfs to a path on the as/400, i've tried ADDMFS and MOUNT, all of which return a "Cannot find address for specified system name", the command I'm using is:

MOUNT TYPE(*NFS) MFS('192.168.1.156:/as400') MNTOVRDIR('/LINUX') CODEPAGE(*ASCII *ASCII)

I've tried substituting ADDMFS instead of MOUNT, and get the same issue. In my TCP/IP host tables I have my local ip and the system.doman.com setup, as do I have it in the domain information setup. And can't for the life of me figure this out, it confuses me greatly that I can map the as/400 from the linux box, but I can't do the reverse to get the linux onto the as/400. If anyone has any experience with doing a linux NFS on a as/400 I'd greatly appreciate the assistance in this.
