[edit] Network config

Add the eth0 interface and make sure it comes up automatically.

auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet dhcp
        dns-search lan

This ensures 'ping biserver' will just work. The router unfortunately does not add a search/domain field to the dns section of the dhcp reply, so we add it ourselves (until perhaps a better dhcp server is used).

[edit] File Systems

sudo mkdir /shared
sudo chmod 777 /media/data

In /etc/fstab

Change /media/data options from relatime to relatime,user,exec.
Add biserver:/media/data/shared /shared nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,user,exec 0 0

In /etc/hosts

Add 192.168.1.14 biserver

sudo mount -a
