I'm trying to mount a nfs network share in various OSs (ubuntu 10.10/10.10 server/11.10) but continually get the same error:
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 128.251.xxx.xxx:/Systems
I have verified that I have nfs-common installed on my machine. And my /etc/fstab mount command is as follows:
128.251.xxx.xxx:/Systems /home/me/uslonsnas001 nfs async,rw,hard,intr 0 0
The network device is a Seagate NAS, here are some screenshots of the device setup (through the web interface).
Verify that NFS is enabled for the share point named 'Systems'
Verify that NFS service is enabled on the device
Verify the share is set to enable public access:
So what else could I be missing to make this mount work?

Generally there are permissions associated with NFS exports, i.e. hosts that are allowed to access NFS according to the server (in this case, your NAS).
A traditional export file that allows all hosts to access the export (aka share) looks as follows:
/foo/bar *(ro,sync)*means all hosts, so you probably want to look for something similar in the GUI of your NAS
