You have to have TCP/IP running (i.e. inetd, etc.) for NFS to run.  You
should be able to test it without an actual LAN, however.  Try something
like 'mount localhost:/usr/local /local' and then use nfsstat to look at how
things are running.  Anytime you have the internet deamon running, localhost
can be used to test things without a true network.

My opinions, your screen.                                   is much better than
