I have 3 PCs on my home LAN, all running 13.2_64 with nfs server running and exports defined.
In fact, a couple automount shares are already working properly.
My question arises from trying to set up additional client shares on a new PC.
On that machine, I see the following:

From the client end, I open YAST-Network Services-NFS Client, see a display of my established mounts, select Add at the bottom and get the pop-up menu for adding a new client connection. If I enter the IP address of the new server, I can then see the available exports on that server when I click the Select box.
But if I restart the whole process to set up a new client connection, and click the Choose button, after a bit of time I get a pop-up : ERROR No nfs server has been found on your network. I know that is not the case, I am already connected to two established servers, the new server (info above) and the system I am running YAST on are all up servers running and I can browse connections via dolphin.
So nfs seems to be running fine.
What does not work is the NFS Server Discovery process that should return a list of running servers to the NFS client setup in YAST.
Any hints for what to look for?
All server machines are reachable via ssh.
All firewalls are turned off.
Thanks in advance
