I am starting a new thread because I have still been having difficulties getting consistent behaviour from all my NFS shares. I am still slowly working through the problems but having sorted out one share, I still had one remaining. Having sorted that out the original shares have been lost. I hesitated to post but once Henk has put in his replies I hope somebody will shine some light from above.
When I had posted my last post on NFSv4 I had been working primarily on TW machine. Now I have moved to a Leap 15.6 machine I have found that some files were missing. I had been looking for net-utils but to no avail but eventually I succeeded in setting up the share between my two ibm server machines which run on Leap 15.6. I have the server on my backup server and the client on office working machine. All good so far but now the shares between my office working machine and my home TW machine fail badly.
I now have reached the stage where I can serve the two wanted directories from the office and now see them being available when working on the home TW machine if I use yast to set up the client but the connection is refused. I have this problem even with the firewalls on both machines stopped.
My musings have dismissed obstacles in the several switches between the two machines and am now looking at the network configurations on each machines. My reason being that I have inconsistencies still between the various zones and protocols and ports on each machine and which are being used for what.
What I am working towards is using only two zones, internal and external with my default being eth0 or eno1 or equivalent as the default internal zone. I would appreciate any views before I do more. I have left out all the br0 and VM stuff as this is supposed to be all on eth1. One further bit of information, on the working pair of machines the NM gui shows a different picture but using nmcli all the connections appear correct. For those who have read all this here are the tow NM connections for the working pair:-
alastair@ibmserv2:~> sudo nmcli connection show
[sudo] password for root:
NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE
eth0 5913c15d-ec0b-4961-9077-10da574a643f ethernet eth0
br0 377b3b1a-a32f-476e-8647-4878b98cb45d bridge br0

bridge-slave-eth1 1d46320f-48e4-4b9a-b4e8-944d72b25d26 ethernet eth1

``` Which is from my main office ibmserver and the other:-
alastair@ibmserv3:~> sudo nmcli connection show
[sudo] password for root:
NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE
eth0 f7d3f678-236b-4727-83f1-b9d2a9e4ec65 ethernet eth0
br0 d6206db6-d93a-4fd7-a5e2-cdb153bffbe2 bridge br0
lo 9b5ee83f-48de-47b7-b911-4c1b101ac379 loopback lo
bridge-slave-eth1 30bea656-a507-47ca-bc3f-dc75d0020f44 ethernet eth1

I shall stop my musings and hope somebody can suggest where I should look to solve the problem. If anybody has time I can send all the cli stuff required.

PS I am still working through the permissions just in case in all the messing about I have made a mistake
