The CD-ROMs are PC/Windows format and I am trying to NFS Are you exporting them read-only? Are your clients attempting to mount them read-only? If you run "showmount -e whatevertheremotehostnameis" on your clients (or whatever the cooresponding command is) do they show the export list on the FreeBSD machine? What about if you run "showmount -e localhost" on the FreeBSD machine, does it show the exported CDROM?
